We have yet to see a weapon class change so I wouldnt count on it. Theres a lot of weapons that need one though...mention it in https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1241002536262172795 though

Killing a Mule Deer with a 22-250
You must be living in an area where that is legal
Where I live the 243 is considered the bare minimum for most big game, mostly because the listed minimum of .23 calibre really does not exist in local gunstores
even if they made it ethical, I doubt it would be fun to track a muley 2 kilometres because you decided to use such an underpowered caliber, even the .243, 6.5 and .270 take a while to take down a muley in the game, the .22-250 would take 2-3 business days to that
Pretty sure .243 is the minimum in America too, not sure where this dude lives.
Apparently some states allow 22 calibre rifles for deer hunting
I know some crack shots that use 22-250 for preservation of the pelts on medium sized bucks. They don’t bother unless they’ve a good heart-shot though. Usually on flat farmland with a berm or something behind, no brush or anything that can get in the way.
I know a number of them do for sure
