[QUOTE="dogz, post: 2791500, member: 5429"] Keep in mind this is with a standard 22/250 (not AI or CM), I don't push it hard. That said depending on lot of powder I'm generally in the 3460-3500 fps with my load of Varget. In the last 5 years if I recall right we've taken 46 critters from deer and lopes to elk from 35 yards to 400 and all have been with one bullet. No CNS, all behind the front's. That I can recall only 3 of them went anywhere but straight down! One whitey ran a short ways, one muley went about 10 yards (off a cliff) and the elk I shot this year went a very short ways. IMO, what the big case 22's can do is totally underappreciated as well I've found that the standard CNC 55-63 grain bullets do just fine and will take game down quicker than any of the harder bullets!
