[QUOTE="eaglesnester, post: 415427, member: 9431"] I have a Weatherby Super Varmint Master in 22/250 with a 26inch 1-14 inch twist barrel. I have tried Speer 70grain bullets against all of the internet advise against using a bullet that heavy in a 1-14. My results speak for themselves 3/4" groups at 100 meters using 39grains of Winchester 760 and a 250CCI cap. Getting 3400FPS out the business end. Plenty for even moose. I have not killed anything with my 22/250 however I have shot it at a 5/16inch steel plate at 200 meters with a Burger 52 grain and the bullet goes over 1/2 way through the plate. The resulting bullet crater is quite impressive to say the least. I do believe that if this round will do that much damage to a steel plate it will sure as hell will put down any deer on this earth. Saw a video of a ineuit hunter that hunts polar bears with a 22/250. puts em down fast as he goes for the spine. Now i dont advociate going after polar bears with a 22/250, thats purely stupid, however this guy was a pro and he has been doing it his entire life. He uses a 22/250 bullet because he does not wish to mess up the pelt. I guess he gets 20-30 thou for a first class skin. Cheers & Tighter Groups: Eaglesnester [/QUOTE]
