I have killed dozens of deer with a 22-250. Only problem I've had with it is very poor or no blood trail but most deer fell within sight. Probably 3/4ths of them fell straight down!
The rest we just use to train dogs but some of the ones that went 100 yards or so in thick brush would have been hard to find without a dog. Use the right bullet, take only high percentage shots and have fun!

What do you want to do with the gun?? To me, 18" is a waste on the 22-250 as you will have a lot of unburned powder with an unnecessarily loud muzzle blast / flash. I like the 223 better if you are set on 18" & 22cal centerfire fun gun.
Lots of other options for deer & kids with 6.8spc & 300 blackout that will kill lots better & still not recoil bad.
