as big as white tail, heck them things are tiny, id feel over gunned chasen whitetails around with my 22/250, hmmmmmm
seriously though ive traveld this country east coast to west coast and there is a very big size varition from reagion to region ot state to state or whatever youd call it.
ive seen little deer not much bigger than coyotes and deer that would be about like our muledeer.
a big muledeer and the 22/250 have no busness classing heads. the deer would have the advantage at the atart but the 250 would win slowly as the deer died a slow death.
when big deer are in the sites id much rather have any caliber but the 250.
but in other states id go hunting with the 250 likeit was my bread n butter. why shoot something that recoils when the game is small.
here in idaho im just mingling with the idea of useing the 250 on deer. well have to see what load development says to my idea. if the bullets dont shoot then the 250 will be out of the running. and O'cconer will agree with me when i go back to shootin 277 slugs at big game.
