When you get in to reloading try Sierra 52 grain hollow point match projectiles. I use them in 220 Swift and 223. Easy to get to shoot. A bit harder than Blitz, Vmax types and not as spectacular,...

I have taken 1 red stag with mine needed a follow up shot even though first shot was only 30m but was front on. It deals well to possums, hares and Canada geese too. Or at least it has done.

Those few hundred meters per second between a .223 and a 22 250 transform it into the hammer of Thor, due to E=MV squared. I well remember watching deer begin to drop through the scope 300m...

It's OK to leave a bit of meat on the hill Micky, the deer is dead and if you take a bit less you run out faster and get to hunt more.

Shooting heavies in the 223 makes it more useful on larger thin skinned game like deer But if the 22/250 had a fast twist tube then the tables are turned, in an extremely useful fashion
