[QUOTE="Tom Brush, post: 762212, member: 6449"] Didn't they used to be legal in Wyoming? I remember a friend telling me that he always shot his Antelope with a 22-250 and the 70 gr. Speer. .22 calibers will kill deer. I have taken several with the .223 and 22-250 using (50 Nosler BT and Hornady 55 V-Max.) One with a .223 AR two years ago and two bucks with a 22-250 pistol last year. Many years ago the neighbor lady shot a buck every year with a .222 You have to take broadside lung shots. The .223 shot was at a running doe around 80 yds. She went 10 yds. and piled up. Both bucks ran about 50 yds. The lungs on the first buck were gone, just blood clots. The second was missing half of his lungs. I normally do not use .22's for deer as I have many others to choose from. The .223 shot was the last day of the season and I wanted to shoot a light caliber since I had open heart surgery just 5 months before. The 22-250 bucks were also taken the last day of the seasons in PA and NY. I was really looking for a coyote and had just gotten the 22-250 pistol and wanted to use it. Anyway good luck in Wyoming with the .22's. Tom [/QUOTE]
