    Red stag and Fallow spiker last evening.

    Both about 150 yards. Both lung shot. Both pass throughs. Both 60 grn Hammer Hunter at 3,150 fps. Red ran about 30 yards which was a good thing 'cos he ran up hill and out into the paddock which saved me some work. He left a good blood trail.
    Fallow just did the .223 stagger and fell over.

    Restraint is the better part of dignity. Don't justify getting even. Do not do unto others as they do unto you if it will cause harm.

    The 64 gr Winchester is good if you can find some.

    Presumably the same projectiles will work well in a 22-250.
    Any favourite recommendations?

    Bought a tikka for my young fella, he seems keen, has knocked over a couple of Fallow, hoping to chase a summer Sika soon.

    22-250 is USUALLY a 1;14 twist...... bog std 55grn work well.... the 63grn seirra semi point work well
    was thinking the other day,there is a small niche for a heavy blunt 224 projectile...up weight and loose length so it will stabilise in slower twist but not a long range thing..sub 150 is me anyway

    Greetings,
    70 grain Speer Semi Spitzer is supposed to stabilise at max .22-250 velocities in a 1 in 14 twist and also in a .223 with a 1 in 12 twist. Been around for 50 years. Chews up a bit of powder space though.
