[QUOTE="Wilderness Blacktail, post: 1794016, member: 27906"] Before I started reloading for my 22-250 for deer in 2008 I went thru my magazine stack and reread the articles on the subject by Brian Pearce, Layne Simpson and the late Finn Aagard (spelling?). I wasnt looking for proof that itd work, I knew that as I had already taken a whole bunch of deer with smaller cartridges 22lr (legal for us here) n up. I was looking for bullets that provided solid deer penetration. The 60gr Hornady was listed one of those listed and was more affordable. It's a great choice and I only went to the 60gr Partition to have a lil extra in case it was needed. Either of those with Imr 4895 and its bughole groups and lotsa dead deer. I also worked up a rabbit/squirrel load with imr 4227 and a 55gr Hornady at 1400fps Oh ya, John Barsness wrote about hunting with a culler in Africa who killed some kind of 150lb antelope by the truck load and used Winchester 55gr softpoint ammo exclusively. Shoulder hit or no, they did the job. [/QUOTE]
