Thread: .22-250

I have had two 22-250, both used for varmints and dogs (coyotes) in canada, have taken coyote's to 450m, with my old browning HB (sako action) safari.
There a great cal, but if you realy want to reach out a bit, get a 1-10 twist or faster, (browning and savage now make them) and run a 75gr a-max at 3400 fps, lots of fun, sold both mine thought, I kept my 6mm remington, bit more flexable,
guys above have summed up the 22-250 well.

If that picture disgusts you,look away fast! Hitting soft tissue animals tends to have that affect. Very humane

Hitting an animal in the face (as it appears), rather than the brain or central nervous system, is not humane or cool in my book. But as I said, that's just me and its only an opinion. I might be wrong, but it does not look like it was hit in the head from behind with a front exit?

Was hit from below in front as it was looking up. There was nothing in the head left. Very surprised the eye was there as even the grey matter was missing on closer inspection. It was a very fast kill.

Good-o

I have shot a few things with a 22-250 from roe deer and foxes to magpies and rabbit. I love the caliber.
But since I have played with a 204 , I prefer it for the small tuff.
55 v-max is my pill of choice. The 62 or 63 grain sierra flat base was pretty good in my 22-250 Ackley.

If that's your best photo umm it's fuckn n heinous No way I'd share that Just would think its all out there forever

Not sure what you mean by "Best photo"?

Just showing the damage of the 22-250. Yes it's ugly but it shows the destruction the extra velocity causes over a .223

Not normally one for gory photos either and if you would prefer me to take it down I can.
