Default 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...
