We have killed every thing from prairie dogs to antelope and deer. That said we can kill some big game with the 22-250 because we use hand loads that we have worked up over serveral years. My self I think the22-250 is margnial for deer size animals and dont recomend it for others. I belive the 22-250 is a good chose because of its punch at long range. My hunting partner and i shoot coyotes at ranges from 50-400yds. And with good bullet placement its a stone cold killer.Thats my 2Cents worth good luck and have fun.
We shoot pasture poodles all day long with the 22/250. There is no felt recoil at all with it. There IS just enough that you can not see the pasture rats explode through the scope. My heavy barreled Mod 70 222 is sweet if you want to see the VMax bullets do their thing
