7 REM MAG said:yeah i found out last weekend why it is that i bought the 22-250, picture this you see 5 coyotes, the closest is 550yds away the farthest is 800 yds away, down pops the bipod, bolt slammed shut and the rifle barkes and before i hear the bullet hit the yote i am on the next closest yote which is almost 600 yds away, now i didnt get the second one but i had one bullet skim hair off his belly and one skim hair off his back. I highly doubt that the 204 could do this or the other centerfire 22's, and i know that the 220 swift could but i just couldnt find one. Oh well im happy with my choice

I have a pair of foxes at 250 yards with my 22 250 using 40gr b tips. I also DIDN'T get a coyote at 70 yards using same bullet. I'll never know for sure, but believe the bullet blew up on impact. I loaded up some 55 gr Sierras for the dogs and will save the Noslers for the gopher patch.
Doesn't matter too much what ya shoot, just do it oftenand have fun
