[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2080780, member: 2939"] I've been turkey hunting since I was a kid with my 22-250. My old 26 inch barrel 14 twist really liked the 55 gr fmj BT. Back then I used 4064 and 4320. Now with modern powders CFE 223 and Big Game works very well. I usually just do body shots on the Toms out fanning in open fields. Like the above post the lower back is good shot placement as is the lower neck on frontal shots. LRH hunting. I have played with some of the 62 gr fmj bt because of the higher BC at the range out to 600 yards. Windy days it has some advantage if you are shooting 300+ yards. If I ever rebarrel it would be another 26 inch with 9:1 or possibly 12:1 twist. The FMJ just puts a 22 cal hole straight through with very little damage. I have also used 243 and 270 win with hard copper bullets that don't expand. I have the tall Harris bypods and just sit up on some hill side. Texas was always stands and feeders out to 600. The leased land has an area of 100-600 yard feeders for turkeys and hogs [/QUOTE]
