[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 789893, member: 1940"] I've use a 22-250 for the past 15 years or so. It's a great prairie dog round, but past 400 the wind, where I shoot, becomes challenging. Because my barrel is a 14 twist I am limited as to what bullets I use. I have had great success with the Hornady 52 gr A-Max, but mostly I use the 52 gr JLK low drag bullets. Got anothe 1K lot a couple months ago. The barrel will be toast after this next bunch, and then the rifle will be rebarreled to a 7 twist to shoot the 90 gr Bergers... unless I decide to rebarrell to 6XC. My marmot rifle is a purpose-built 7 mag shooting 180 gr Bergers. Overkill? Not when the ranges start at 800 yards and extend past 1300. You can't beat those .659 G1 BC bullets. My next looooong range marmot rifle will most likely be a .338 Edge or Lapua. Higher BC's for 1 mile + shooting. It's all about the BC. [/QUOTE]
