RE: 22/250 for deer
I just cant beleave people shoot deer with a 22-250. I sure hope the guys that do this do not go to a state with big deer. Shooting a 125# deer is eazy with any thing but a 250# is not the same.I have been there and watched 2 guys here in MT shoot a deer 5 times. One guy was shooting the 223 and one the 22-250. was one of the uglyest things I ever saw.The kill shot was a hit right at the bace of the antlars.When they guted the deer it had SPECKS of lead though its sholder.They lost a good part of the deer.[couldnt eat all the lead]
I shoot a 223.I have killed deer with it. The only reasion I have shot any deer with the 223 is I would be calling yotes and have a doe come in to the call. This is slightly difrant than some one grabing the 22-250 to go hunt deer.I should allso say the deer I have shot with the 223 where walking to me and at VERY close range.
