Yea i see it often on other forums. But it is what it is.
For deer and a 12 twist 22-250 i load 50gr TSX for my nephew and Got him 55gr FMJ for practicing.
He got really good with it and my brother had to limit him to taking 2 rounds with him or he would kill as many deer with how many rounds he took haha.
But had him shooting it out to 400 yards and last year he dropped a nice 8 point at 330 yards.
My brother wanted to move him up to the 270 but he limits out with the 22-250 every year and 99% are DRTs so i told him to let him have fun.

I'm a Barnes guy, so I would have also suggested the 50gr TSX in factory loads.

We use this is TX and OK for our predator and deer hunting setup, typically in savage rifles. As long as you do your part you’ll have no issues killing them. We’ve killed roughly 20 or 25 deer with the 22-250 barns TSX style, all shots have been under 150yrds, mostly at 50-75yrds.
