I watched a guys shoot a mule deer years ago with a 22-250 using 55gr soft points. I thought he was crazy when he brought the gun out, after gutting that deer and seeing the damage in the chest cavity I changed my mind. Now, he did wait for the deer to turn broadside because he wasnt shooting through the shoulders.
A 62 Barnes out of a 223 will punch through the shoulders of a 200 lb pig at 200 yards. That bullet in a fast twist 22-250 would be hell in deer.
