[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 647997, member: 29966"] I'd love to get some guys that have experience with the heavier bullets to chime in too, since I'm thinking about getting a fast twist 250. I currently shoot a 1-14 twist Remington 700 VLS 22-250 that after my prairie dog hunt in a few weeks will surpass the 5k round count and probably go into retirement until I can afford a new barrel. I've shot almost all 5k rounds with the Nosler 55 BT and hits out to 400 yards have not been a problem on sod poodles. After 400 I don't seem to have an issue with the wind near as much as with my vertical dispersion. I've been able to ring steel plates (10"x18") at 600 every time, and playing with the wind only took one or two shooting sessions to see how it affected the bullet at that distance. My groups on the 600 yard plate were in the 6-8 inch range but for the life of me I can't seem to connect on a Pdog much past 450 because I always shoot under/over them. [/QUOTE]
