I own a 22-250 and have dispatched a few deer with it. However, something in the .30cal range would be much more suitable for deer and especially elk. Everyone's gonna have there own preferences. I would say that a .270 is a perfect caliber for deer (just my opinion). Heck, you could probably kill a deer with a .22 if you had the right shot. However, not only would this be illegal but quite irresponsible. I ran a similar post about handguns and calibers on the "not neccessarily fishing" board. I had some really good feedback there too.[
] Maybe give that board a try as well.
