[QUOTE="Sam In Va, post: 35678, member: 953"] Hi all, my experience has come from my standard 22-250 with a Hart 8 twist 6 groove barrel that finished out at 27". I had it throated for the Hornady 75 grain A-maxes. I have NEVER turned a 75 A-max into smoke.They are extremely accurate. I'm shooting groundhogs in Va. This bullet has a kill ratio of about 50% in "MY" gun. At 200 yards, it punched a hole thru a groundhog and left a 5-7 ft. groove in the ground behind him.... gave him a Texas heart shot and that took care of him. At 525 yards the A-max just spun one around and he ran in the hole. I now shoot the 68 grn. Stake RPVB @3500fps. and the 80 grn. Starke at 3100fps. The kill ratio is better, and I'm really watching the posts here on this cause the throat is growing on the barrel and I'm gonna rechamber it. Just can't quite decide.... 22-250 AI, 220 Swift Improved 40*, 22-243,22-6mm, etc. I have about 700 of the 68's and close to 400 of the 80's, plus Sierra may be coming out with a Blitzking in 69 grains... what a hoot.
