I've got a 22-250 with a fast twist barrel (1-8") and would like to use it for Pronghorn/Whitetail. Any suggestions from those in the know would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Thanks for all the great info. Anyone try the Nosler 70 grain AB?The 77TMK is a stone cold killer.
Otherwise Berger 85.5 or 80-88 ELDM.
I want so bad for the 90 grain ATips to be a reliable killer. I've shot them out to 1100 yards in my 7 twist 22-250AI.
That bullet has the BC of a lead balloon.Speer 70gr is a great option. It an actual hunting bullet and hammers.
He didnt specify ranges and these work great out to 450 yds no problem. Honestly neither animal mention are rugged so he could kill them with cheap BT bullets and shoot more and save $$That bullet has the BC of a lead balloon.
A bonded or otherwise heavy constructed bullet is not needed or I would even argue desired for shooting whitetail or similar size game, especially at longer distances.
The bullets mentioned in my post will be much more destructive and have far more tissue damage.
He did however, request high BC options.He didnt specify ranges and these work great out to 450 yds no problem. Honestly neither animal mention are rugged so he could kill them with cheap BT bullets and shoot more and save $$
