[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 22024, member: 313"] It is not likely your bullet that needs improvement. I have shot many groundhogs out to 450 yards with the 22-250 in a Rem 40x rifle. Although I prefer the 52gr match bullets and the Nosler 55gr Ballistic Tip bullets, the 50 gr VMAX also works well at the distances that you are shooting. In all likelihood, group size @ 350yds or reading the wind at that distance is what is giving you the problem connecting. On a calm day, try placing a target at 350yds and check your groups. If accuracy is acceptable then learning to read and compensate for the wind will greatly increase your kill ratio. For most precision and/or longrange shooters, the wind is often all the difference in the world. [/QUOTE]
