I killed 19 with mine using hornady v-max 50 or 55 gn. I never lost a deer, you shoot one behind the shoulder its a dead deer, it will run 80 yards with no blood trail but dead. I have a friend that used to have to kill 300 does a year, he managed about 10,000 acres in the mississippi delta and shot most of them off the levy after he put his clients out. His gun of choice was a 22-250. They don't kick, not too loud, and very deadly for someone that knows how to shoot a deer well.

Love mine and have no problem shooting deer with it. Like it has been said, good shot placement puts them down.

I love my .22-250. I bought it off a guy that sold it to me after he had a couple deer run off.
True story.
I bet there is some dude out there that has killed 5,000 with a .22 Mag wearing nothing but a K-Bar hanging off his jock strap and some face paint. I'm sure he'd tell you .22-250 is overkill, just get a .22lr and try some sub-sonic ammo. Works fine on yearlings for him.

i think the whole point is get lost here. if you are looking to shoot a deer with a 22-250 thats fine just make sure you hit it correctly. i think what the op is going for is a gun for a child. here are the facts, a 22-250 is just as good as a 243. example 243 shooting 90 gr bullet at 3050 fps , at 200 yards equals 971 ft lbs of energy. 22-250 shooting 62 grain barnes x a deer hunting bullet at 3500 fps at 200 yards equals 1001 ft lbs of energy. run the numbers and you will see that IF you keep a 22-250 under 200 yards and make good shoots it is better that a 243. their is nothing wrong with starting children out with 223, 22-250, or 243. them main thing is practice and skill set. Great post!! Accuracy matters far more than caliber no matter what you are shooting. Anyone potentially recoil sensitive would be a lot better off shooting a low recoiling round that they weren't afraid of, and shooting it accurately, than shutting their eyes and flinching when shooting a caliber that is supposedly better suited for deer hunting.

I have killed a bunch of deer with a .22lr subsonic shell, never lost one and all killed almost immediately. Under special circumstances it will kill the snot out of them.
This fact does not make the .22 rimfire a decent deer HUNTING cartridge and I sure as hell wouldn't hunt with one.
or a 22-250......

Not that I plan to replicate it Troy, but I'm curious....where did you shoot them to make them die so quick with subsonic 22? In the ear?

Maybe so but a 22-250 is a far cry from a subsonic 22 LR.

I shot Rem lead HP subsonics, little noise and accurate. I killed one deep inside the Wilsonville Steam plant hiding behind some boilers. Don't know how it got in there but I know how it got out. there used to be an old poacher in Tuscaloosa Co that used a .22 rimfire with shot HPs, he killed a lot of deer. They were close and he could shoot pretty damn good with a light on em  Gil Green finally caught him one rainy night.

Ha! somebody else's caliber gets picked on yea! And the Hornady 60grain works. These or 65 grn Sierra Gamekings in 223 makes them DRT when placed appropriately. I'm sure a similar load in 22/250 would have similar results.
Give me liberty, or I'll get up and get it myself.

That was from a Winchester hollow point. That was the second shot. The first one was a honrady vmax. I didn't know it at the time but the first shot was faitlial.
