In Manitoba, using a caliber less than .23 is not "recommended"....what year this came into being i do not know.. but in years past i have taken a few with a Parker Hale .22-250. All at less than 75 yards. Shot placement is the most important part.
It can be done but is not recommended due to light bullet weights and the fact that most of the softpoints available for it are designed for varmint use. As Nestor has subtley pointed out, it is not legal for use on big game in many areas either.

Here comes another meshing of the lawyers!!!
Legal or not, was not the question.
Quality bullet(non varmint type) put on target will to the job.

Legal in Ontario.
Shot an Impala with a 22-250 once. Killed it. And sice African game is sooooooo much tougher than deer (according to the experts anyway) I'd expect a whitetail to shuffle off its mortal coil without due delay to a well placed bullet.

I know a fella who has done it successfully many times, but I keep asking him, "why?" He has many centerfire rifles and more appropriate calibers in the 6mm to .30 cal range... I don't get it unless one has NO option... but I suspect there are few of those.

Where im shooting is in an old apple orchard and the range is less than 100 meters. The rifle shoots 1 moa all day long. I have lots of other rifles but this one is special to me as it is my first build from the ground up. There are many large white tails that come to this valley and the one ive been looking at is pretty nice. It is legal in new brunswick to hunt with 23 cal rifles so keep the bs out of it please. Just want to know from some one whos done it and what were the results.

Though you'd have to question why it's illegal in many provinces and states, no?
This... I built a .17 from the ground up... Screw sentimentals... Take what you need to get the job done efficiently...
It's not legal in a lot of states and provinces because there are to many " long range hunters and snipers " out there. Seems like half the world thinks a 300 win is min for deer or gophers since you shoot a deer in the ear or tip of tail it's dead lol

well in my opinion, big bore, big bullet, big hole, big waste of meat, big mess to deal with. small hole, small mess, more meat.

Hornady makes a gmx bullet you can load in the 250. My forman has shot a hand full of deer in manitoba with his 22-250
