SWAMPMAN the question had nothing to do with your oppinion on whether or not i should use my 22-250 did it? Especially after I put i do not want a debate in my original post i would imagine you would keep your thoughts to yourself. If i honestly believed using my 22-250 was to risky and inhumane i sure as hell would not use it.

My final statement to you is that i do not want to use my 22-250 to rack up MACHO POINTS. I simply want to use it so i can put the SMALL TEXAS DOE down quickly and humanely. I do not want to go back through the fact that i would not use it on a larger bodied deer.

i just want to add something. the 22-250 works fine on deer. two of my cousins in kentucky used on just fine to kill many 200 # kentucky deer. in capable hands it's fine. but the person shooting it has to be sure of himself and ability.

Additionally I responded to zrexpilot who remarked about "fist sized holes" in his venison. I'm sure you can kill whitetail with a 22-250, I just don't know why you'd take a chance on wounding game when another rifle caliber can better do the job. .

Wounding ? Ha Ha ! Ive never seen a deer walking around with fist size holes in their chest . LOL
22-250 is a fine deer cartridge. Specially when deer here rarely exceed 150 lbs.But If ever I got to hunt 300lb deer up north, well then I would have to step up to my .243.

But I guess for some of you who cant shoot and need something to take down a gut shot deer quickly go for nothing less then a .300. Ha Ha. LOL.
