A 22-250 is a .22 caliber.

Not like a deer is a very large, hard to kill animal.

I can't tell much difference between a 22-250 or 6mm. Both kill whitetails with very little drama.

I can't tell much difference in anything even up to 30-06 except for a few times they looked like they were actually hit a little harder with a 30-06 but there was still a 30-50 yard death run.

My most impressive DRT kills though were with a .270 and 130 grain Sierra Gamekings at less than 50 yards. Put a lot of hair in the cool morning air with the sunlight making those hairs look like little stars.

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
