Thread: .222 turning back the clock

Great thread thanks all.. I'm a latecomer to centrefire .22 calibres. Fraid I was in the classroom when some of you were out in the hills. You have perhaps had the better part I think...Anyway I now have 222, 223 and 22-250, so far taking only goats. Got mates who were cullers back in the days, still with their old beautiful beat-up and sometimes rebarreled 222s. I was interested Zimmer in your experience with the 22-250. How it compared. I've taken goats with mine out over 200m with 55gn Sierra SP doing 3350fps. Dandy until one hit on bone and splatted. Second shot between ribs did the trick. Same pill from 222 doing 2600-2750 just makes a nice hole through the rib and a good mess inside. Wondering if it was just a bad projectile or that that projectile was not up to the higher speed. Have tended to stick to the 222 and 223 since, taking closer shots and going for neck by preference. I hunt for meat so neck shot is goodness for me but closer is definitely better. So how did you find the 22-250?
