[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 764017, member: 25383"] I only own three 1:14 twist barrels these days and all are either .223 or .222. I'd dropped 35lb. coyotes at 250 yards without a hitch using the 55 grain Vmax. I'd think that bullet in a 22-250 ought to be good for almost 400 yards if not 450 yards on a windless day. I never could get real small groups out of them in the .222 barrel, but still got .62" groups. Of course that could also be the guy pulling the trigger! On the otherhand I did try several 60 grain bullets in an experiment with the .223, and never shot worse than .75" groups and never shot better than .60" groups. Problem I saw was that they were becomming unstable at 275 yards and further. Kinda looks like the 55 grain bullet is about it. gary [/QUOTE]
