[QUOTE="kweidner, post: 406365, member: 4964"] I used .22 cals for 20+ years. 22-250 .220 swift, 223wssm and even the plain jane .223. I always used 52 grain HP and took neck shots. Never had one take a step. 2 yrs ago I started loading Barnes 52 grain for my neighbors son. I wasn't sure the neck shot was an option. He has had great luck with that little bullet. He has taken 5 animals with them ...all boiler room shots and all recovered less than 100 yds. I have shot three with my AR and 70 grain Barnes. Excellent bullet as well. If you are up for it use the Sierras and shoot for the neck. (No Tracking) The faster the bullet the faster they drop. The swift and the WSSM are great to 350 yds. and you would not believe how fast they drop! I WOULD NOT shoot one past 350. It's an energy/wind thing. If I have shot possibilities past 350 the little .22s stay at home. The 6.5X .284 is in the truck with me then! [/QUOTE]
