Thread: The 22/250, what do you zap with it, what are its pros and cons.

After Govt decided we no longer allowed black rifles I decided to try a 22.250 as always wanted one. Picked up a 1:10 twist Ruger. Barrel has ended up at 19" with an Oceania suppressor on end.
Quickly got some loads going with 69 Tmks and 4064. I'm stoked with it and sold on the 22.250. Used on Fallow and goats just hits that much harder than a 223 and I'm sold.
Seems to burn quite a bit of extra powder to do it but don't really care as such a handy rifle to shoot and zero recoil to hold sight picture.
Always felt 223 just bit light on animals despite shooting tons with it. Personally think it's just that much better and an ideal NZ cartridge if can get a faster twist.
Have ordered a tikka 1:8 twist but won't get here till next year to shoot 80 amax's with is the plan.
