[QUOTE="436, post: 493828, member: 16609"] longrangeshooter1 For what you consider long range 400 yards. Most guy's find the .22 cal 1-14 twist barrels are pretty much lead launcher's for the 50gr and lighter varmint bullets... which shoot very flat and fast, however they also bleed off velocity and loose energy very fast... As was said; if you want the best of both worlds try a .22 250 using a 1-9 to 1-8 twist, and shoot bullets in the 65gr to 80gr weight range. 400 yards. .22 250 Rem 50gr. MV 3950 fps at 400 yards 2322 fps with 598 fpe 16.5" of drop 80gr. MV 3150 fps at 400 yards 2261 fps with 908 fpe 23.0" of drop Respectively based on barrel length. So if your looking at tipping over Yotes at {real} longrange I'd think the 80gr bullets at top end of their velocity is the way to go... in either the .22 250 Rem or the .223 Rem. Groundhogs and crows won't be able to tell the difference at 400 yards and under... however past 400 yards you will. Again just my .02 436 [/QUOTE]
