The deer thing probably rules out the .22's. Brass availability is one of the biggest concerns I'd have. Get your brass supply secured at the outset. Rock on with whatever you can dream up after that. Curious why the deer thing would rule out .22’s?

If the chambering has enough powder capacity, and an appropriate bullet is used, then it will do the job quite well. I don't think a .22 would be my choice if the deer are large bodied, midwest types, and long ranges are possible. It's strictly an energy at distance thing.

As I recall is was dialed in using the 55 grain sized bullets moving at 22-250 speeds. I’m looking at the 22GT and 22CM.

Pass the 224 Speedmire,vastly superior brass,far greater COAL,88's and hold The Fluff. Hint. I've got (5) of 'em. Hint..............

Hint. Speedmire,22-250AI and CHeetah. Hint. I drive Alpha 224 Speedmire Virgins,to form 22-250AI and as illustrated,the amount of brass moved is rather modest. I'd never build a 22-250 AI Today.
