[QUOTE="topwater225, post: 2906273, member: 6315"] IMO - You're going the wrong direction. I prefer slower twist and lighter bullets. That being said, my AR is a 6 DTI (similar speeds as 22-250) I think 1:10 using 70 grain nosler BT's. I seldom have major fur damage. I love the Nosler BT's and they just anchor the dogs. This is the heaviest bullet I plan on using for the DTI. I've shot probably 6 dogs with this setup at 500+ yards, and I feel that is my max distance. However that distance doesn't happen very often as it's usually because a dog is hung up and won't budge or you're hunting pivots. You won't be shooting (or killing) dogs at very far distances with night gear. I know, because I'm also a thermal guy. My .22-250 gets 50 grain V'max's. Sometimes I get more damage than wanted but they anchor very well. I keep saying the word "anchor" because you will definitely want to anchor them at night. Fur friendly comes as a last priority...LOL. [/QUOTE]
