[QUOTE="d11r529, post: 2009822, member: 26177"] I have a 22-250 with a 1:7.5 twist barrel, my main bullet is 75 grain ELD at just over 3300 fps. With it I have no problems going to 1000 yards. The lightest bullet I've tried is the Hornady Superformance 50 gr V-Max, ragged hole accuracy with both. The 75 is hard on coyotes if you're planning to sell the hides, the 50's have only been used on steel plates to 600 yards so far. The 50 V-Max out of my 223 does a great job of ungluing prairie dogs so can't wait to try them at 22-250 velocities. I recommend a fast twist so you CAN go to heavier bullets if you want to but can still use the lighter bullets. [/QUOTE]
