Shot out the barrel on my old Cooper 22-250 last summer and had it rebarreled with one of their good Wilson barrels. 26" 8 twist intended for the Hornady 75 and 80 gr. ELD-M bullets.
After load development and a good bit of testing the rifle is shooting these kind of groups at 200
yards.

Got out to do a little prairie dog shooting a couple days ago and the long shot of the day was 1127 yards.

I'm getting 3080 fps with 35 gr. H4350 behind the 75 gr. bullet, and using a G7 BC of .222 for their mach 1.75 figure.
