Shots would be 125yrds max where it would be hunted and would be using a 60gr bullet minimum opinions wanted.
The 22-250 would not be my first choice. But people use a 222, 223 and 22-250 all the time for deer. I assume you are talking about white-tail deer? If I were hunting in the mountains for mule deer I would not use a 22-250. Having a game animal run down a ravine isn't much fun.
If white tail or smaller and on the plains and using a good bullet, yes the 22-250 is adequate. I have killed exactly one white tail with a 22-250, the only one I've shot at with that caliber, so I am no expert.
One more thing, if I were to be using a 22-250 on deer I'd likely be aiming for the chest cavity (or a brain shot) and not a shoulder.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally
