My grandson used a 22-250 with 55 grain ballistic tips and killed when DOA at 300 yards!!! Shot placement is everything! Oh.....he shot the deer running. Shot 4 times, hit twice.
Awesome! How much does your rifle weigh? I had a custom savage from their custom shop in 7mm RM. The scope was a vortex PST. Whole rig weigh
