Suggestions for .224 high BC Medium Game Bullet

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

I have been shooting the 77 grain TMK in my 8 twist tikka '250
Only killed a couple varmints and a large white tail doe so far but I'm liking it.

It seems that a lot of guys like to 80gr or 88gr ELD-M bullets in the fast twist 22s. Personally, I've been shooting the Berger 80gr FullBore and 85.5 Hy-Tgt bullets. They are both very accurate in my 7.5 twist Creedmoor. I'm tempted to take a whitetail with the 22 Creedmoor this year, but I have so many more appropriate cartridges that I'll hold off for now.

Good luck with your 22-250.

85.5gr Berger LRHT, 3 deer so far out of my 223AI, been fantastic 50/100/319yrds

I have a 22-250AI with 7" twist, have used Nosler CC in 77g & 88g on foxes here, they work quite well on pigs too. I don't doubt these would work on deer, but I trim meplats to ensure expansion.
For deer, the Berger's are hard to beat and I'm in the 85.5g LRHT camp.
I've been looking at the Barnes 77g LRX, but finding them here has proven futile. I really want to try them on goats @ 600+metres.

Cheers.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I have killed train loads of antelope with a .224 60 gr part. , 62 gr fusion, and this year I used 65 gr GK's.

Not super high BC's but they work

Antelope are fragile and don't require a 300 rum, believe it or not
