22-250......
- Thread starter Deaken
- Start date
better than 4000 fps, flat shooting... whats not to love. I have a Ruger No 1 chambered 22-250 and I love it, used it out West on Prairie dogs. 500 yard shots no problems not much use for me in Dahlonega though
Love the 22-250. Great caliber.
I picked up a Savage Model 110 in .22-250 last week. It's got a black synthetic stock and a matte black finish. I just sighted it in on Wednesday at 1" high at 100 yards.. I wound up with three bullets in a cluster on 150 yard target. Then on Friday morning I used my electronic predatory call and quiver critter to bring in six coyotes. Only three left after the shooting ended. Two out of the three had 6 inch diameter holes through their chests @ 75 yards. The last one just didn't have a head any more.
I was shooting Hornady's Custom 60 grain soft point loads. They are listed at 3600 fps. I liked their performance on game. The coyotes did not!
In my opinion, the .22-250 works great!!! ME LIKE!!

22-250 is a great round, even better if you can reload. I have a Ruger and a Remington and both will shoot one hole groups at 100 yards on a good day. Both of these guns prefer 50-52 hp bullets for accuracy. Most rifles will have a slow twist rate so the lighter bullets are a must in order to get them stabilized. I wish someone would make a 1-7 or 1-8 twist rifle so we could use some of the heavier bullets available. Enjoy the new gun !!!
