Thread: The 22/250, what do you zap with it, what are its pros and cons.

G'day all I have a sako 85 22-250 with 1-14 twist standard barrel I run 55gr Vmax @3415fps on 31.6gr bench mark 2 '' totally lethal ''also I have a 22-250 Ackley ''AI'' improved I-10 twist I run 60gr Hornady sp for 3900fps also lethal the 85 has had 3500 documented down the barrel and maybe 150 undocumented it still shoots .6 consistently the Ackley has had 2400 and showing signs of wear and tear but still shoots .7 not bad for a caliber prone to barrel wear but as you can see if the speed is kept at bay then the barrel life is better both rifles were work tools but were looked after with the right projectile, right twist rate and in the right hands the 22-250 is a quiet capable caliber some indigenous Canadians use the 22-250 to shoot Moose and Elk not a bad effort for a small caliber I dare say it would be perfect shot placement in this case
