RE: What 22-250 is good and affordable?
Even if you do shoot a decent bullet out of a 22 centerfire, and as far as I know there is only one and that is the Nosler Partition 60 grain, your sectional density pretty much sucks, even the partition in .224 doesn't hold up that well, and you still aren't going to have enough knockdown to make an ethical kill. Use varmint cartridges for varmints. If you want to shoot deer then get a cartridge worthy of doing the job.
