[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 1792996, member: 56094"] Nathan Foster has some great info on what you are asking so here are the links to his site. He mentions reading the 220 Swift info too so I have linked that as well. [URL]https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/.22-250.html[/URL] [URL]https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/.220+Swift.html[/URL] I have shot more than 100 deer with the 22-250 using either Sierra 55 grain Game Kings or Speer 55 grain Spitzer SP. Lately I have changed to the Norma 55 grain Oryx which is a bonded bullet. Of all the Fallow, Red and a Samber that I have shot one needed a second shot, one ran about 20 yards (chest shot) and all the rest were DRT. Other than the one chest shot animal all of them were high neck shots from about 6 yards out to just over 300 yards. Practice and bullet placement is the secret with using HV 22 center fire rifles and my mentor told me that he would take me deer hunting (when I was 16) when I could consistently head shoot rabbits and hares at 200 yards.
