    22-250 Projectile Choice?

    Hey Guys,

    Bought a sweet little T3 off @buzzman in 22-250. From the Tikka website it would appear the barrel is 1:14. Any experience out there as to which projectile will do the most damage? Buzz suggested a load using 2208 and 52gn Amax which I will use as a starter once I get myself some components but I'm wondering if it will do okay with a heavier projectile.

    I want to use it predominantly on Hares, bunnies and magpies at long range (also interested in your opinions on how far I can realistically shoot them) but ya never know when you might stumble across a deer and I don't want to be too badly undergunned.

    Your thoughts?

    Cheers,
    Adam
