[QUOTE="Miller Outdoors, post: 415862"] Reading this thread reminds me of a guy asking me why I'd take one of my bass fishing rods with 17 pound test to the ocean on a recent blue fishing trip. He pointed out the endless setups that would be just that little bit better, and all the reasons why. After listening for a while I politely interrupted and said, "Look, I have it - I'm used to it - I like using it, and it does the job quite well." Then I proceeded to outcatch his big, bad rod setup at nearly 2 to 1 on the water that day. The point being that the indian is virtually always more important than the arrow. If you're a good indian then hunt deer with whatever you know well and whatever kills them and whatever you enjoy carrying. If you're a bad indian then don't go deer hunting, because bigger, badder guns aren't a crutch for lack of ability. The .22-250 is a fine deer cartridge. I'll even go further and say that's it's an above average deer cartridge with any good, tough bullet that hits where you aim it in the hands of anyone with any reasonable idea on the cartridge's limitations and where to place the bullet. Happy hunting. :) [/QUOTE]
