Thread: 22-250 loads

I have had good results with the 55 gr Noslar Ballistic Tip with 36 grs of AR 2208 these went through the chronograph at just on 3600 fps. Only shot one red but that load has taken a lot of fallow deer and goats. Don't use it much now but it is nice to have one for when you need it. The missis used it to take her first two fallow bucks, one was at about 70 yards and she hit it fair in the brisket as it was facing us and it spun round and dropped in a gully about 30 yards from the spot it was hit.
I found the jacket of that Ballistic Tip in the gut bag, the heart and lungs were mashed up a bit. The lead had parted company but it had done the job. Most of the deer we shot with that load were under 200 yards so they may perform better further out when they slow down a bit. Dynamite on goats and rabbits. My rifle is a Rem 700 SPS and it shoots pretty good for a budget rifle, usually around the inch mark ...good enough for a hunting load.
