Default RE: 22-250 for deer hunting

ORIGINAL: mauser06

if i didnt fill my buck tag already, id be hunting with a 22-250 this season while on stand..

not because i dont OWN other rifles....

but because i spent 1200+ on the rig, 40 groundhogs aint got it paid fer yet

a 60gr partition or 55gr bear claw with me behind the gun up on the ole dirt pile would done some damage im sure...

like the other said...all about bullet choice and shot placement...

i dont know how far id push the range though...hmm whats the energy of it look like anyways...? got me thinkin now...

real hard because the ole dirt pile has some 300+ yard shots...throw me a groundhog out there and i'll make mush of him when a ballistic tip meets him...but what about a deer and a DEER bullet??
Energy at 300 yards, check here...
