Does anyone hunt with 22-250 anymore?

[mdmiller]

That is a beautiful idea!

Let us know how you can out?
I've do that to my Remington's all the time!!

 

[RidgeTop]

Use them all the time. Remington 700, Sako Forester and Handi-Rifle. IMR 4320 and Sierra 52gr BTHPMatch.
Target is Rem 700.

What twist are you running? I was thinking a 1-8" but wondering if 1-7" would be better for 88 ELDM's. TIA

1:8 at 22". Slings the 88s at 3150 with room to spare with RL-23.

Had a great time in Wyoming last fall. Shot this coyote at 600 Friday evening, then shot this mule deer buck at 315 the next morning.
Easy to spot shots and just plain fun to shoot.

WTG! Nicely done. Those 22 BR's feed nice from the mags?

Bear Creek Arsenal has announced the availability of there 22-250 uppers for the AR10 platform.
Have not had time to looks a the specs, but I may have to try one of those.

BearCreekArsenal.com

I have 1 of their 243win barrels for AR10 and it's very short throated. Factory ammo barely chambers and some don't. I tried 90gr fmj and coal at 2.650 is .028 short of being at loaded spec.

Years ago I used to have a Remington 700 chambered in 22-250 that I shot a lot of prairie dogs with. Time went by and the rifle was rechambered in a different caliber and forgotten about. Recently while going through and old ammo box I came across some loaded 22-250 rounds and that got me to thinking about how much I had enjoyed the round. Now I am thinking about getting a barrel chambered in 22-250 or maybe another rifle in that caliber. Time to start saving some coins for another project I guess

I shoot 22-250. I have several. Killed 1 mule deer and 3 antelope. All one shoot dropped where they stood. Oh also one turkey. All with 55 gr. Some were long shoots out to 500 plus yards. One of my favorite calibers. I will never sell my 22-250s.

Our prairie dogs are pretty limited these days. Bunnies are plentiful. The 22-250 suits predators & small deer as well. I would like to spin a faster twist barrel on mine though.

I have a VLS in 22-250 that I shot the barrel out in. I re-barreled it with a 9 twist and shoot deer with 65's and 70's and groundhogs with 55's.

I use one fairly often for night hunting fox and coyotes. This summer my 8yr old is going to use it to fill some crop damage tags on whitetail. Load will be 62gr gold dots with Imr4166. I usually run 55gr vmax with h380 or factory loaded 55gr varmageddon for the predators.

That rifle is a heck of a shooter! Nicely done Sir!

 

[JRS3]

Absolutely. My 8 twist, 24" barreled 22-250 is a great truck gun. I shoot NABs and TSXs through it for deer, yotes, hogs, and whatever.

The 22-250 and 220 Swift are two of my favorite cartridges not only for varmints but also deer and antelope. I use both cartridges in 1-8 for deer and antelope as well as tipping over coyotes and prairie dogs.The 22-250 is built on a short 700 action and the Swift on a short M70. Both shoot extremely well.

I also have 22-250's with 1-14 twist barrels. My favorite 14 twist is a Kimber 84M Varmint with a knockout stock on it. It is a beautiful rifle that shoots as good as it looks. A Tikka T3 with a fiddleback front to back is also an outstanding shooter. Another shooter is a H&R single shot that is the ugly sister only in looks. It shoots as good as its more beautiful sisters!!

I have a Browning 1885 in .22-250. I use it on coyotes and ground squirrels.

I love the 22-250 I have 4 benchrest and two hunting rifles in 22-250 extremely accurate and not expensive to load surprised they are not more popular I also have 2 M-77 220 SWIFT another almost forgotten caliber it gets really expensive to shoot my 7mm STW or my .338 LAPUA MAG so in these times smaller is better some of the forgotten or lesser known calibers are really great the 22-250 is one for sure

Thanks! The AI cases feed really well from the AICS style mags. Regular 22-250 cases have too much taper and can be a pain for sure.
