[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 2010277, member: 113278"] I run Speer 50 grain tnt in my 1/14 22-250 for everything from woodchucks to deer and well whatever needs shooting at the time. I’ll attach a pic of that bullet recovered from a whitetail shot at 479 yards lodged under the hide behind the opposite shoulder. She walked a couple steps after impact then laid down and died. I’ve used Sierra 52-53 grain hp as well but they don’t hold together. Last fall I shot a doe at 50 yards with my sons 22-250 and a hornady 52 bthp and she dropped stone dead. She was fully mature and quartering toward us! I think that if you get much lighter in weight than 50 grains your going to be jeopardizing penetration beyond 100 yards. I had 35 grain Berger’s up to 4400 FPS just for the smile but didn’t load any for deer. They shot at 1/2” tho. [/QUOTE]
