If you shoot the deer in the head or behind the front shoulder
at close range meaning 50 and up
it may kill a deer if you were lucky. But it is not the best choice for hunting deer. Remember a .22 pellet is the same size slug as a regular .22 cal bullet and I would not hunt deer with a .22 cal rifle. It's just a poor choice.
Use a .22 magnum. It will kill a deer.
Grain generally refers to weight- of bullets and gunpowder. The Mossberg 45B was a caliber .22 Long Rifle firearm. .22 LR is tpically a 40 grain bullet weight cartridge.

Maybe. Depends on where the deer is shot, from what distance. Much more likely to WOUND the deer- which is why in most US states, it is not legal to deer hunt with a .22 rimfire.
Whatever is available ought to be OK. (40grains.....)
It may be possible- but a .22 caliber pellet rifle will not RELIABLY kill a deer, and it is probably not legal in your area. A .22 pellet simply does not have the energy to damage nerves and organs to produce a quick and humane kill. .22 rimfire rifles have been used to kill deer, frequently by poachers. However, there have been many more deer wounded by .22s that would die much later from an infection. While it may be possible, it is not a good idea, and definitely not sportsmanlike hunting.
No. Georgia law requires rifles or handguns used for deer to be 22 cal CENTERFIRE or larger, with an expanding bullet. While .220 Swift, or 22-250 is legal (with the right bullets) a 22 Long Rifle (rimfire) is NOT legal.
Yes, it's possible, however unlikely, and if you shoot a deer with a .22 caliber, the deer will (almost certainly) run off and you won't find it.
Properly placed, a 22 lr will do the job.
It depends on what you mean. If you mean legally, many U.S. states require a caliber larger than .22 or 223, however, that IS legal in some states. If you mean what caliber will kill a deer, almost any rifle caliber will, but .22 or .223 is questionable, which is why many states prohibit that for deer hunting.
The 22 Long Rifle has different size cartridges, But the 22 Hornet has pictures of deer killed with it. The 22 Hornet is a lot more powerful than the 22 Long Rifle. They both have different grain.
