22-250, 223, or .308
#3
i killed my first deer with a .223 but i would not suggest trying that. i used a .308 last year and loved it. .308 is very accurate and all around a great deer gun. i shot a does heart in half with that gun.

Fixed it for you... It pays to know the difference...
I also agree with Top about the .308... Particularly for one that is still learning the difference between "caliber and cartridge".
Based on yer initial question you were basically asking if you should use a .22 caliber or .308 caliber for whitetails... Not to be misunderstood, all 3 "cartridges" you mentioned are capable of killing a whitetail... but so is a .22 short under the right circumstances. Learning about, and understanding the capabilities of the cartridge your using is very important...

Go bigger of course, you can use all 3 but the 308 is the best choice of the 3. I've got a soft spot for the 308 case and own two 7MM o8's and two 243's. Wouldn't mind a 260 but the ammo is crazy expensive for some reason.
