Wow. That’s changed since I lived there. I believe 26 cal is minimum for their elk. That deer one must be new. That eliminates the classic 243 and 6mm rem.Here in Pa we have a minimum of .25 caliber for deer.

What twist rate was that rifle?I've killed deer with 22-250 handloads. Speer's 70 gr semi pointed at about 2900fps makes a definitive kill in the heart/lung area.
With perfect shot placement, sure it will work. But it's a very low margin for error. More likely to wound it and not recover the animal than to drop it quickly.I wondered how a 55 grain hollow point would work don’t get me wrong that wouldn’t be my choice but I was curious
1-10 the semi pointed is engineered to stabilize in regular twist.
What twist rate was that rifle?
Ok, well a 1/10 twist should be good up to 85 or 90 gr, but that is not a standard twist for 22-250. Most are 1/12.1-10 the semi pointed is engineered to stabilize in regular twist.
