RE: 22-250 for deer hunting
Give the 64gr powerpoint a try, expands and puches on through even on double shoulder shots. The swift 75gr scirrocco II at 3500 fps out of the 224 will do more than any 243 load I have used, talk about impressive!! Ive used the 223 and 22-250 on tons of deer and hogs and as long as you use and good bullet and put it in the right place you have no problems. The hornady 55grspwc leaves dang good blood trails as well if they manage to make it very far. I use the 22's on small tx deer and hogs with great success, several hundred does and hogs on culling operations cant tell the difference in .019 in starting diameter of the 243.
