[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1970040, member: 9299"] Have you only used the 40gr bullets in your 222Rem? If so, maybe try a few 50-55gr NBT's, Sierras, Hornady etc in your 222. I have used several 222's over the decades, and with the 50-55NBT and Hornady's, I have hit countless P-Dogs from 100 to beyond 600yds in Western plains winds. Similar, numerous coyotes and marmots. Next is the 223 Rem with either the same 55-60 NBT or similar, or go with an 8 or 9 twist for the 62-75gr varmint bullets. For several decades, I used a few 9 twist 223's out to and beyond 600 yards with 65-75gr bullets, and was very satisfied with the results on varmints up to coyotes. Of course, the 22-250's, 22 CM, and 6mm's will work well, but with more powder, recoil, throat erosion, etc. YMMV [/QUOTE]
