[QUOTE="Sam In Va, post: 182951, member: 953"] I have two 22-250's one is a standard Remington Varmint Series with a 14 twist in a HS precision stock... it shoots.5" easy and better most of the time. The other is a BR gun that has a switch barrel, one in 22-250 with an 8 twist that I had throated for the 75 grain A_maxes. This barrel is a shooter and very accurate... however my main quarry is groundhogs and I was trying to get into the 500 yard club with that gun... I could hit the groundhogs with the 75's but it woudln't kill them esp. at the longer ranges.... depending on your quarry I would caution the use of the 75's... super accurate.... not quite as terminal as a varmint bullet... but hey... they're not designed to be a varmint bullet. That being said, lots of people have had great success with the same bullet and type of set-up...I bought up a bunch of the starke 68 & 80 grain RPVarmint Bullets and have been using them on varmints with much better success. I still use it today, but have been enjoying my 243AI for longer range shooting with excellent results. I have heard and witnessed that the new Savages are one of the most accurate out of the box guns today. Got a buddy that has a 112 BVSS in 220 swift it's an older one... but its a tack driver!!! Hope this helps. Sam [/QUOTE]
