[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 514445, member: 17593"] Buano, you are pretty much telling the truth about the Savage and the 22/250. It can reach out there with the proper bullet and twist. You also said you haven't had a 204 ...yet. I hope you do ! I'm not so inclined to the 204 Ruger round. I do have two AR15 uppers in 20 TAC (driver). Last year I whacked five prairie dogs from 425 to 475 yards. You are right here too; there ain't a lot of energy left at that range. However, before I'd go to the 22/250; I would look very hard at the 223 A.I. Lots less powder, much less recoil, very, very accurate, very, very fast ! How fast? Mine has been chrno'd at over 3600fps with a 55gr. pill. Case life ain't much; keeps enlarging the primer pocket. Can't imagine why? LOL. But, that's the only pressure sign I get. Yep, that's hot 22/250 velocity ! It shoots in the 2s and 3s too. Hard to go wrong with either choice. As Buano said, they have plus's and minus's. [/QUOTE]
