Thread: Longer range projectile for Tikka 22-250?

Goats to 300 or rabbits to 400 you have a do all at a very economic rate.

I reckon that's about right - im just wanting to push it out on the peacocks. I might try a harder projectile and see if I can get similar accuracy. If im gunna shoot a deer with it at the moment ill just stalk with a soft point up the spout. Got These vmax are really for lying down on a hill and testing my accuracy - the fact that they can cut wind well helps with the longer shots on small targets.

Might load up some Norma soft points or Sierra BTs maybe. The Sierras must be harder than the Vmax surely.
