I would keep the 22-250 illegal, but I would legalize the 22-250AI because custom calibers kill animals deader.

Truer words have never been spoken on HuntWa.  I just don't trust any hunter who still uses factory ammo or overly common calibers. They probably don't take shooting serious enough and I have to assume that they're unethical.

I only support the use of either obscure, obsolete chamberings or wildcats/AI variants (the AI designs are like training wheels for wildcatters by the way) Within those parameters I don't think bore size matters. Except the .25's; that's the dumbest bore diameter out there. We should ban all 25 calibers from existence.

Coffee all over the keyboard funny!

Guess my biggest question is, if you allow this or any of the .22 centerfire cartridges to be the minimum for big game, can you do it so it does not eliminate the predator hunter who may choose to be out during the modern firearm seasons hunting predators from either being in violation if they don't have a modern firearm tag, or force them to not hunt?

Seems like anything that divides and excludes one group for another's benefit, no matter how small that group is a detriment to the sport in general...

Laws like this are retarded anyhow. I've heard that you can't be out predator hunting during modern with a legal deer caliber if you don't have a deer tag. What are they trying to rule out? Just like anti-gun zones and gun transfer laws don't keep guns out of criminals hands, this isn't going to stop someone who poaches. I guess someone carrying a less-than-legal caliber weapon into the field can't be hunting deer

.22 Ludacris
Based off the 404 Jeffery case
1/6 twist and 80 Gr AMAX bullets
I see nobody has anything on line about it.
"Take us to Ludacris speed!"

That's a .22/500WSSM

Here's a .22 centerfire

I bet there's some muzzle flash ,need a really long barrel to burn up that powder.

I had a friend in Oregon who had a fairly big ranch decades ago. The 22-250 was the only gun he ever used on deer. I'm not saying yes or no but I've seen it in action and it worked just fine. I've never shot that round.
When I hunted Montana many years ago, they had no restrictions for what you could hunt deer with. Don't know if that's changed since then.
With proper shot placement, it's going to work just fine.
I do prefer the 25/06 or the 257 Roberts when it comes to deer.

A dude with a .22 centerfire that shoots a bunch because ammo is cheap and isn't afraid of the recoil is IMO, more ethical than a guy that closes his eyes and jerks the trigger on his .300 mag .

bingo

[Seabee Doc]

The title says it all, with all these new threads what's one more?

.218 bee will get the job done.

I say no restrictions at all.

If you can find ammo for one...
