[QUOTE="Garyinmt, post: 1793687, member: 110154"] The slow twist in the typical 22-250 factory rifle is a problem. Mine is a tack-holer with bullets up to 55 grains. Above that weight, accuracy falls off. As long as you use Barnes bullets of 55 gr and below, you'll be fine up to 300 yrds, but make sure you only take broadside lung or neck/head shots. Blood trails may be scant to non-existent, even with holes in both sides of the chest. Don't use lead core bullets as some have suggested. Too much chance of bullet blowing up prematurely at the velocities of a 250. [/QUOTE]
