[QUOTE="aaroncarp, post: 1009992, member: 80044"] I posted a thread a few months ago about what bullets to shoot from my 1:12" 22-250 for deer and wolves. Then archery season started so I never hit the range. I chose to try some 65grn Sierra Gamekings because I had read a lot of good things about them. However they recommend a 1:10" barrel. Anyways I loaded some up, I knew I would need to have them hot if I was hoping to have them stabilize from the slower barrel. Started at 34 grains of imr 4064 and worked my way up by half grain increments to 36 grains. I put a half inch group down range with 35.5 grains at 100yards. So I decided to not even shoot the 36 grains because I was already pretty hot. My question is, how much do I need to worry about this load staying stable out to 3-400 yards? Should I worry about the precision of the load if I have a deer at 300? I would love to keep shooting at the range but, the more time I spend there, the less time I get to spend hunting. [/QUOTE]
