    Default Is 22-250 legal for deer in PA?

    Does anyone know if 22-250 is legal in PA? Mine is fast twist Savage that shoots 60 grain Nosler Partitions great with max load of H414. I know some folks use this combo on TX deer with great success.

    I have heard Texas has small deer. Might want to double-check on that.

    anything centerfire goes now, I believe the rule vacillated in the past.

    "10 grains in the right place" , eh?

    i thought I recall about 10-15 years ago for one year or two them specifying something akin to:

    centerfire: over .22 caliber..................., leaving some doubt to the .22x...
    Of course I could be completely wrong.
