I was curious as to what your guys opinion would be on the max distance a well trained marksman could take ground hogs with using a .223 or a .22-250 Savage 12 BVSS, or any varmint rig for that matter.
The Savage BVSS comes with a 1:12 twist. What affect will that have on a 70gr bullet?

Thanks for all of your great advice. I think I found the set up I am looking for. My local gun shop has a 12 VLP in 22-250 with a 1:9 twist. I think this will give me the gun I need to grow with as my skills improve. I thought it was a good price at $750. What do you think? Also I do not hand load but would like to get into it. Will this rifle still shout the lighter 55gr. bullets accurately and if not what factory ammo out there would you reccomend for a heavier bullet?
.......Most of my shots would be under 400 yards but would love to work at targets longer out as I imporved my craft......now I am not so sure what I should go with the .223 or the .22-250.
