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

First two deer I killed with a 22.250, one was at 100 yds, and that was shot using a Barnes 53 grain Blue Colored tip bullet

and the second was one shot at 200 yds, running away from me... so I shot over its tail and hit the back of its neck.
Dropped him on the spot, head over teakettle. Quarter sized hole in the back of its neck, but hit the spine. Exit out of the front of its neck, was like an open book. That bullet was a Speer 70 grain SMP.

I use one sporadically, but when ever I do, and I come across a volunteer, the 22.250 has never failed not to kill them DRT.
