There is no caliber minimum requirement that I know of in NC.
VA has a .243 minimum

.22-250 is GTG in NC.
BTW - Virginia has a .23 caliber minimum, not .243.

This sounds like a question you should ask a game warden.

Here are the firearms state regs copied from page 41 of the Regulations Digest (essentially no restrictions by state law).
Shotguns
Shotguns must be no larger than 10-gauge.
When hunting migratory game birds, shotguns must be plugged
so as to limit their maximum capacity to three shells.
Pistols
During the open hunting season for rabbits, squirrels, opossums,
raccoons, furbearing animals and legal nongame animals and
birds, these species may be taken with a pistol of .22-caliber
with a barrel not less than 5.5 inches in length.
A hunter or trapper lawfully taking wildlife by another method
may use a pistol to dispatch the animal or bird taken, except as
noted below.
Pistols may not be carried during the bow-and-arrow and
muzzleloader deer hunting seasons.
Deer, bear and wild boar may be taken with a handgun during the
established gun hunting season provided that the handgun is not
less than .24-caliber. Muzzleloading pistols are not legal for hunting.
It is unlawful to hunt or take wild turkeys with pistols.
Rifles
Rifles are prohibited by federal law in hunting migratory game birds.
Local laws prohibit or restrict rifles in some counties.
It is unlawful to hunt or take wild turkeys with rifles.
One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.
