Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 22-250 to light for Deer ??

If you have a slow twist barrel and you're not comfortable with a Spiter light enough to stabilize in it, try the Speer 70 grain Semi Spitzer. My Remington 700 .22-250 stabilizes 'em with it's 1:14 twist, but i've heard it won't stabilize in some barrels. When you work your load up you will see if it stabilizes in your rifle.

Here in the center of the Texas Gulf Coast and most places in Texas, other than the South Texas Brush Country, the deer aren't elk size by a long shot. The .22-250 AND the .223 kill a truck load of deer every year with 50-55 grain bullets. As somebodies sig line on here says, "if you want to kill a deer DRT shoot it in the ear hole." Both .22-250s and .223s with a light bullet will kill all the deer you can haul off like that. As is said on here all the time, it's all about shot placement.
