SNAP SHOT 194 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 the 22-250 may be granted a deer hunting permit but you may have to prove you have been stalking before and know the score, it's not an ideal calibre in my eyes for the large reds, how-ever as always said shot placement is the key, if you thinking of going down this route get yourself a 243 and trade in the .223, you still have a dual purpose round in the .243, good luck.
