Assuming you have proper skill, bullet selection, ideal shot scenario, I’m curious what people think about this.

Edited to add link to thread. That would've been more helpful from the get go. Apologies.

I've got a particular spot where I see bears every spring, 500 yards +or-. Would take this shot with a 22-250 AI Shooting 80s @3200?

I used my 22-250 AI for a Wyoming deer hunt a couple seasons ago. Shot a buck at 315 yards with the 88 Gr ELDM and he went down pretty fast.

Try the 88 eldm

As long as it’s legal, I’ll likely only shoot deer with tipped 22 cal bullets for a long time

This was meant to be a poll, not really a lengthy debate. I was kind of curious on the stats.

If the right bullet is hitting at enough velocity, without a doubt I would.

I do it regularly

I killed a nice pronghorn with a 22-250 and 60 grn partitions at 285 yards. Hit him perfectly broadside and double lunged him he went straight down. I recovered the bullet on the off side and it mushroomed perfectly and was at least 85% weight retention.
