    TM,
    You hit the key points, big time.
    Thanks!

    I read somewhere the twist rate in the 250 was different to a 223.
    Not sure what you are referring to by "they" but yes, 22.250 are almost exclusively 1:14 twist which limits them to lighter bullets like the 55grn and some 60grn. Whereas it is usual for the .223 to have a faster twist (1:12 through to 1:8) which can stabilise heavier bullets - with the 1:8 through to 80 grn).
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    I started reading where you had the photo of the stag shot with the 60 grn Hammer, which is the projectile I was referring to.
    Read a bit further back, and now see I was less than clear…

    Thx

    Will get a sample pack and try anyway unless anyone has tried already without success, or can definitively say they won’t shoot?

    Have a look at the 52 grn Hammers. They are good and might stabilise although 1/10 is recommended. The 44 grn is recommended for 1/14. You will be shocked when you see the price.

    Go on Old Timer,(capitals for respect), spin us a good old West Coast yarn. Take us back to the days of swannies, Buller boots, black jacky hoes, green river knives, railway tarps, and Norse wear socks.

    You dont have to be on the West Coast to "spin" a yarn. That gear was de rigeur in times of yore. Spending time at the Mangaweka pub in undies , Jackie Howe and Bullers after walking across the Ruahines and not seeing anyone for 2 weeks.

    You had undies!? For some, undies, we’re a luxury. So were socks
    As a young fella in the late sixties I once followed govt gun up a steep ridge in his bullers without any socks, and his wedding tackle swinging freely out the leg of his shorts. Never been more happy to get to the tops
