[QUOTE="SAVAGE22-243AI, post: 485437, member: 25124"] Go PD huntiing in SD with a 10-20mph cross wind, aim dead on at center of mound at 500yds and shoot the .204 .223 22-250 all maxed out with 32 to 40 grain v-max bullets. Then tell us which one drifted the most. Real world rules. Heavy bullets work great if you have the time to wait for them to hit the target. One cool observation on bullet retained velocity and penetration is to shoot a bowling ball at 1000 yds with any caliber rifle you want. Which caliber will shoot through the ball at that range? Fred Moreo told me about this test in 1997 The only caliber to date I found that will go all the way through and not move the ball is the 22-243 A.I. with 47.4 grs of Rel. #19 and the 75gr A-Max bullet. We have tried almost every cal. available to us. 50 cal fmj, 30 cal fmj, 7mm, 6mm, lots of different guns and ammo. The only reason for 50 gr bullet in 22-250 was the sale price and the slap they make when the hit. gun) This is fun...................! [/QUOTE]
