Hmm...

Hunting out of your backyard? I am assuming you have a very comfortable place to shoot. Maybe a nice bench set-up? Probably get a lot of practice on that 22-250.

If the deer are as close as 50yds and you can shoot 1" groups at 100yds, I say "Go for it!!"

Having prosthetics I would recommend a neck/base of the skull shot. Devastate the spinal cord that high up and you get a humane kill with no tracking.
