RE: 22-250 on Deer
Thanks guys! After shooting some smaller game with the .22-250 and seeing the "destruction", I couldn't imagine it not being able to capable of taking a deer under 200 yards. At 200 yards, it delivers similar energy as the .30-30win based on Federals ballistic tables. This season I plan to use my .30-30 (close shots)and .300 WSM for long range, but I may try the .22-250 once.
ILbowhunter88 - the .223 and .22-250 shoot similar sized projectiles. However, the .22-250's velocity is considerably faster generating more energy.
