I’ve just had a read through this , I’m a big fan of “ swamp people “ and I’ve watched every episode. Most of the shots at a Gator on the are off a rocking boat or hanging off a branch on the bank . In the OP the shots are at or about a 100 meters. What advantage has a 22-250 over any other centre fire ?  500 ft per second? I am only guessing , but any centre fire capable of putting a bullet in an small target at or around 100 meters would be good enough. Opinions are like assholes ….. we’ve all got them .

The 100yd is average but can very. Anyway originally I think he said he was using a .270 problem with that was possible ricochets and wasn't as fast as shooting. The 22-250 was much flatter shooting at the 3200-3400fps he was pushing those varmint grandes basically made it so even if he missed and hit water the bullet would just fragment instead of ricocheting like most of the rounds would at lower speed out of other guns. But again that's his thoughts on it. I know alot of of others prefer a .243.  come to think of it most of those longer shots front he early seasons I think where with .243's

Another thing is this guy is contracted by the state for gator removal so his situations are a bit different then swamp people. Pretty sure he's setting up on a levee shooting at a downward angles when ever possible.
