I have been using 55 gr Noslar Ballistic Tips on goats and Fallow deer. They work well but for larger reds I would be inclined to use a Barnes or something similar for greater penetration.
Also I would keep the range under 300 yards unless head or neck shots are taken and at that range it could be tricky. At these ranges bullet energy is slipping away rapidly.
Ive shot a couple red deer in the neck with the 50gr vmax
They dropped on the spot
Probably not best choice of projectile but with right shot placement the results were devastating

Have used the 63gn Sierra's and 60gn Hornady's for the past 43 years, work well on everything.
69gr Tmk zeroed 200m in 1:10 twist, have a 1:8 coming and will move up to 75~80gr. Is great calibre for NZ small/medium stuff.
The lack of a Fast twist is really the only thing that has held it back over the years.
55gr gameking devastating on fallow and sika, reasonable on reds if good shot placement
What's the story with putting 1-8 or 1-9 twist barrels on a 22-250? Must be some reason they dont do it at the factory
my go to is 39grains of W760 & 55g sierra spbt , furthest shot to date is 268y on a large red hind good wound channel in the chest , shot a wap hind at 200 as well pole axed it though that was a neck shot , surprising what those zippy little pills can do .
