Default How little is not enough?

I usually shoot my ML with 100gr of Hodgon's Pyrodex 50/50 pellets with 295gr. powerbelt. My wife wants to hunt this year and my parents property is in a shotgun/ML zone. She doesn't like the recoil of my shotgun so I figured the ML would be a good subsitute. I wanted to use 50 grains of powder behind a 222gr powerbelt aerotip. Would the 50 grains be enough for that bullet to kill a deer no more than 50 yards? The stand she hunts out of during bow has max of a 50 yard shot.

Thanks,
Chas
