[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 181492, member: 8843"] I have killed deer with the 52gr Tripple shock out of a 22-250Ai at around 3900fps , killed pretty quick , deer went 40 yds or so , double lung hit bullet exited leaving a quarter sized hole. I have also shot them with the 75gr A-max and it worked well , I'd avoid shooting any dense meat or bone like a shoulder or Ham shot with it as they expand REAY fast. I talked to Kevin Rayhill about a 22-243 Ai a good while back and he has killed deer with his and 80gr SMK's out past 600yds. If you have to order a barrel anyway then I personaly would do a .243 cal and shoot the 90-95gr Ballisitc tips out of it , runing them out of a 6x47 , 243 speed your would get good performance. But if you have a 22 cal barrel thats just needing a new home I woulden't hesitate to shoot deer with a 22 cal at those speeds with good bullets. [/QUOTE]
