[QUOTE="dogz, post: 1973173, member: 5429"] Generally sub 400 on small big game like deer and lopes. The farthest we've gone is 505, that lope took a 60 NSB and a two steps and pitched over. 55 Horn w/c, 60 Horn HP, 63 Sierra, 55 and 60 Nozler Solid Bases have done the most of our work. We've used the mono's as well, they kill them, generally without the dramatic down and out right now but they do kill them just fine. Speed ranges 3500-3700 barrel and loader depending. Our family uses our 22/250 for 90% of our taking of game. Obviously we're running these at long ranges but we've found that 400 is generally plenty far and it's rare when we can't close the gap to that or quicker. Elk, we keep it sub 300, doink them behind the front, they'll take a few wobbly steps and hit the terra firma:) and head right for our deep freeze.... [/QUOTE]
