RE: Best 22 Caliber for Deer... and why?
Well...I'm having a slow afternoon here at the office, here is what I found...
Federal offers the 60gr NP in .223 and 22-250, not for the 220 Swift...
.223MV....3160 FP @ 100...998
.22-250MV...3500 FP @ 100 1234
Winchester offers their 64gr PowerPoint for .223 and 22-250
.223MV...3020 FP @ 100....1003
.22-250MV...3500 FP @ 100...1253
I didn't find a deer bullet on Remington's website....Hornady did have a 60grHP for the 220 Swift, but don't think it's a deer bullet...
Hornady does have a 60gr bullet for the 22-250, brother has picked up a box and I called and was told that it was for deer...
22-250MV....3600 FP @ 100...1360
So, I'd go with the 22-250 as you have 3 loadings for deer...The 60gr Nosler Partition that I have seen work, the 60gr Hornady that I was told will work and the 64gr PowerPoint....
Good Luck...
