[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 663873, member: 17844"] I would just sight it at 100 yards and then shoot it at other distances to find the hold overs and record the turret settings for each range . That way it is all hold dead on upto 110 yards for most game , or dial up the hold over for longer ranges . If you sight in too far out and a close shot comes up you have to hold under and some get it mixed up. Also if it's zeroed at 100 it is easier to check your zero than checking at 200 or 300 yards . Most 22.250 's with a 1 in 14 twist shoot well with 50 grain bullets but it depends on the actual bullet length and barrel twist . Some have a 1 in 12 and that will handle heavier bullets . One thing about the 22-250 is that the case has a fair amount of taper and it tends to load up on the bolt face after a certain amount reloads and give harder bolt lift but once the bolt is lifted the taper helps them usually pop right out. I would recommend geting a Redding body die to do all your body sizing as you tend to size more with a 22-250 than other straighter cases . A body die will reduce case wear and tear and lenghten the case life some . Also it allows more precision sizing and shoulder bumping than standard FLS dies can do , which is good for accuracy . Size the necks sepeartely ina neck size only die as the body die does not touch any part of the neck . [/QUOTE]
