Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 22.250?

I wouldn't move up to a TSX until you get into mondo-sized cervids.

Couple years back, my son Crushed two Middle TN slickheads at 180 & 200 yards with a Remington 788 loaded w Rem PSP 55 grainers, slipping the rounds through the gap between the onside shoulder and the goozle.

Of course, he can shoot.

If you live in Colorado or some other leftist republik, get your newbie's .375 H&H with which to kill cloven-hoofed infidel Bambi.

I wouldn't have guessed(key word guessed) that many but Scott and 'Griz cleared it up. That's alot of shooting!

Me either but it was Melvin Forbes that told me that today when we were go over options on my NULA rebarrel job...

A couple lifetimes worth on a deer rifle...

I've shot plenty of deer with the Swifto and 22/250 and have absolutely no problemo with hitting shoulders by accident and or on purpose.

Done it with lots of different slugs from 55 Horn's to 55 and 60 NSB's, 60 Horns, 62 Sierra's and a few with the Preme's like the 53 TSX, 60 NPT and the 55 TB.

This stuff is only rocket science if one chooses to make it such.

dawgdiesel...........Majority rules. Get her the a-bolt.

I already bought it last week. Got a great deal.

4 got to add, the only time I've caught a bullet from a shoulder shot was with a 55 NBT at about 150 yds on a freak of nature monster doe in NE Mt. The doe bounced on the shot and I found the 55 just under the far side about to exit.

Dober

Good deal. How's she like it?

Looking for the right scope to put on it now. She's layed a few down with her .35 Remington so far this year.

Now that's an explosive bullet!!

I hate these small bore threads. How am I to justify 30 different chamberings to the wife when she finds out that all I "need" is a 223??

Has anyone ever used a 204 Ruger on deer?

I haven't, but a few years back there was a write up in the Deer Hunters of Idaho newsletter about a guy getting kids deer using a Tactical 20 with bullets specially made for him by Barnes. They looked dead in the pictures.

I wish i could use a .224 75gn Amax in this state. Would be about perfect for antelope.

Wouldn't hesitate to poke a muley with a .224 tsx too.

Guess I'll have to strech the legs on my 6x45 this year.

Me and Dober are kinda waiting on the Introduction of a 32 gr.TTSX.......

No news on that front yet....

Ingwe's spot on a 32 TTSX would most likely land me in 204 land quickly...

Now how many if you heat the barrel up?
It's always something and patience isn't always one of them when I'm shooting away at stuff.

Dropped a blacktail a couple years ago via 32gr vmax to the chest. Wasn't expecting to be taking deer on that outing, but capitalized on the opportunity. he is now on my wall. Lots of pigs dead to a 45gr sp and 32gr vmax as well.

I've used the .17 Rem a fair bit with Barnes 25's and some R-P's as well. They all died...

Dober

The 60gr Nosler partition works pretty well, in my experience.

Not my first choice, but it was one of those things I had to try, some years ago when that bullet came out. Pretty good set up for kids, or anyone with recoil problems.

38grs of IMR 4350 worked very well, in my situation.

If you can't kill a deer with a 22 cal, you can't kill deer with any caliber.
