[QUOTE="blipelt, post: 396485, member: 11310"] You are correct it is a fragmenting bullet, but with such little energy there will be a point that a fragmenter becomes a penetrater. It will outperform a penetrater as the energy decreases. I had my 22-250 through two barrels before I got into long range and upgraded to a 6X47. 1" isn't a good group in my opinion especially with the 22-250. The low BC bullets will be blown off course easily and shot placement is the key with such a little rifle. Nobody I know of uses one(22 cal) here for competing, but we compete some days with 30mph winds. Here is what I came up with for the load I used: Nosler 55gr. ballistic tip at 3450fps. BC:.267 10mph cross wind zeroed at 300yds. Wind drift and Energy 1" at 100 and 1152.6ft/lbs energy 3.86" at 200 and 907ft/lbs energy 9.17" at 300 and 707ft.lbs energy 17.31" at 400 and 542.8ft.lbs energy 22.62" at 450 and 472.7ft/lbs energy Shot placement is the key!
