    Prairie Dogs

    The belding's ground squirrels are called Squeaks, as they sit near their holes and squeak all day, high pitched squeaks when raptors or humans are near. Also the "Squeaky squirrel gets greased"?

    22-250 twist rate

    Zep, The best powder I have found to work with 34's thru 80's is IMR 8208. With my 9 twist .223 I have a 3 shot 100 yard one hole group, in the 68-69 grain groups same rifle 1/2" at 200 yards. Lapua brass, cci450's, the brass is turned and the bullets are sorted by weight. When I shoot...

    22-250 twist rate

    L= LENGTH OF BULLET IN INCHES D- BULLET DIAMETER T=RATE OF TWIST sambo {QUOTE} The orig. poster had a flawed formula in that it had no input for speed. The 1-12 twist 22-250 will shoot the 69's if the elevation and speed are high. But a slow speed .223 with a 1-12 won't shoot anything...

    22-250 twist rate

    Lots of misinformation here, by comparing the 223 and 22-250 with their twist rates. A 223 with a 10 twist shoots 69's a 22-250 with a 12 twist shoots 69's. For the 12 twist 22-250 you can shoot the 34 Grain dogtowns all the way up to the 69's. I know I own and shoot one. The most accurate is...

    Anyone else extremely dissapointed with Win brass lately?

    Last fall Cabellas had 204 Ruger winchester brass on sale @ 100$ per 500pcs . I bought 1,000 pcs. Come spring when PD & squirrel season was in full swing I then found out 60-80% of the flashholes had egg shaped holes and 10 out of 100 had split necks at the shoulders. Dissapointed to say the...

    204 ruger or 22-250

    One thing not discussed is the recoil and view. The .204 and the .223 both allow you to view the shot all the way. To me the fun of seeing the kill shot thru your scope is priceless. The 22-250 is going to kick so much it does not allow you to follow the shot thru the scope. It also gets too...
