My wife shoots a Ruger M77 in 22-250 and kills the snot out of everything she shoots at. i load the 50 grain Barnes TSX with a max charge of IMR4895 at a touch over 3700 FPS. She's killed a couple of 275-300 lb. hogs with complete pass throughs and they only gone 20 yards max. The deer don't even stand a chance with that combination. I"ve only had to look for one deer and that was her fault. She got nervous and shot at the buck while he was moving. I found the deer and finished it off, but it wan't gonna live anyway. All of her shots have been at the ranges you're talking about.
I'm thinking about moving her up to the the 55 gr. TSX or the 62 gr. TSX. I found a good load with the 55 gr. Winchester PP a couple of weeks ago, but I'm not sure how well that bullet will perform at 3700 FPS.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!
