That's a pretty impressive looking bullet. I'm sure it will be a very good deer killer.
And did the OP explicitly say he was not walking into crappy tire and buying a box of ...
If it is legal in the Province of which the question is being asked then who the effin f cares?
I certainly do not, but trolling for information that is at best third hand info on a forum is less than responsible...
Iffen you wanna shoot a monster bull elk with a .22 hornet in BC be my guest aand iffen a Grizzly wants to challenge you for dinner dibs, I wanna see it on video.

Since he used the term bullet and not ammunition that's what I read. They're not interchangable you know.
He also didn't explicitly say he wasn't going to smack it in the ass with the buttstock so I didn't discuss kevlar vs graphite.
Man some of the deep thinkers on this site...
Well I recommend the many people who use.22 centerfire on deer every year as an example and the fact that many people posted using it effectively that you've chosen to ignore. There are many reloading manuals that have .22 centerfire big game bullets for cartridges such as Nosler, Hornady, Swift, Barnes etc. I started with most of those and they even have some of them free and online!
Don't drag the masses down with you. You have to own your own ignorance and unwillingness to see the stupidity and irony in your own statements.
Your spine shot BS is annoying. When did I use any of that? I've purposefully used many calibres to shoot animals in their CNS and it's predictable. What's your point?
I'm not wasting time on you beyond this. Many people have shown and stated that .22 CFs work, and have many times including direct, personal experience. Some have posted pictures on this and other threads proving the same. You've ignored it and relied on your experience shooting things that aren't the same with bullets that aren't the same and called it a parallel experience. And when we respond with FFS you continue to ignore our responses and continue to talk your little circus into a fit.
But like I said it's entertaining like a monkey + a fork + a light socket so keep goin .
What would you like pictures of chuck?....... I can certainly provide some.......
A million words..... zero pics or experiences..... at least gatehouse posted pics of his spine shot deer...

Weaver rings & bases have served me well for almost 50 yrs. and have never failed in use on my rifles.
Natch, it helps to have a Weaver scope to go with the mounts to add the right amount of Fudd.

To answer the OP's question, a 1 in 12 twist will handle 60-70 gr. bullets fine enough for well placed shots on deer inside of 150 yds. Try to work up a handload that don't push the velocity over 3000 fps. and proves accurate in yer rifle. I've always liked the 70 gr. Speer SP for their performance on deer at sensible ranges.
You choose Brad.
Many of us are already aware of his experience.
Bullets and Ammunition are interchangeable in some circles , just like magazines and clips...
Different meanings and yet they are acceptable terms in some circles.
Besides, as I have stated if the .22 center fire is legal in the province in which the OP resides have at 'eh and stop the madness.
Cup and core bullets or monolithics will get the job done if the shooter does his or her job.
Me, I'll use a bigger hammer and relax with the resounding bang/thwack/flop.

Who's experience?...... I fail to see why mystery is required........

Quick question Brad, are you familiar with 24hourcampfire?
Perhaps you should ask scenarshooter about his experience with 22cf's on big game. In particular perhaps the 220 swift and 55 gr soft points. Fairly certain Pat smacked more book level critters with that old Sako than most people have seen on tv....
As to the OP, personally, were I to be building a 22-250, it would have a 1in 8" twist, purely to not be guessing on what it would shoot for bullets.
Additionally, this fall, on whitetails (northern BC version, not little ones) I personally witnessed 4 whitetails shot with 22cf's. 3 with a 1 in 8 twist Ruger American compact and 55gr gmx's, and a 9 twist Montana and 75 amax's. none left anything to be desired in terminal performance. Only one gmx was recovered (after completely smashing a shoulder knuckle on the way in) under the hide near the hip. The other gmx's are probably still in orbit. Two were bang flops, two made it about 20 yards....
I've also used the 62 ttsx, it works, but busts bones better than the gmx I think.
