What you folks from other states do not know is, what I have been told by a ton of Texas hunters and that is, that the most popular deer rifle in Texas is the 22-250.
We here in Florida get predition permits to kill deer that are destroying crops. A buddy has a permit to kill 90 deer in three peanut fields that run over 800 yards across, each. He uses a fast twist 223 with 80gr Sierras and has never shot a deer more than once and fills the permit every year. He has many one shot kills at 800+. He swears by the 223 and the 80gr HPBTMK. I use my fast twist 22-250 AI with the Hornady 75gr A-Max to hunt deer in big fields (over 450yards) all of the time. Never shot a deer more than once nor have I ever lost a deer. Best, Ed
