[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2909420, member: 91783"] Shot placement is of a big concern to me especially on fox and bobcats as they are thin skinned. Of the 22-250's that I have experience with they had slower twist rates, a one in 14 and a one in 10 twist rate they both however did well with the 55 grain Sierra game king boat tail hollow points with velocities running from 2600 to 2800 feet per second muzzle velocities, and barrel lengths of 22 inches. As well as shot placement the distance makes a difference in the performance of the bullets as well as a host of other conditions. As an example, with a 55-grain spire point bullet made by Speer running at 2900 mv at 50 yards it passed through a coyote and didn't expand, but out at 200 yards it did as it was supposed to and made a 22-caliber entrance hole and an inch and a half exit hole with the same loading. Sometimes speed is your friend and sometimes it isn't both in MV and twist rates. The fun part of it is experimenting to see what works for you in your circumstances. [/QUOTE]
