Default RE: 22-250 for deer hunting

Hell yes! They will kill deer stone dead if you can shoot and use the right bullets! As will the .223 and .222Rem.The Inuit shoot seals ,walrus,caribou,and even polar bear with all the above.I handloaded 55gr Hornady's with 24gr of Win 748 for my dad in a Sav 340 .222 Rem and he took oodles of WT deer all with one shot apiece.Head neck or lungs are the only viable targets.I once bought a used Rem 788 .223 that a smooth talking salesman sold to a young lady for her husband to hunt moose!I got the rifle /opened box of shells ,minus 3 rounds,one used to check the sights, one in a moose's hump and one in his head.I understand he got a bigger gun but the one he had did in a pinch.....................Harold
