Advice For 22-250 Calibre

[woz 260]

managed to get out today and try some home loads i have been playing with, i was shooting rested at 200 yards with good weather and no wind..

 

 

 

 

with accuracy like this who cares if the barrel life is 25% less than 223 a decent 22-250 correctly load developed and with a good scope is the daddy for fox work

Can't argue with a group like that! Rifle? Load?

So it's a fantastic group, and the rifle shoots great, but if it didn't produce groups like that you'd be miffed, right

 

My old Sako 75 Varmint in 22-250 used to do similar (not sure exactly at 200 because I only fired targets with it that far a couple of times) - if it wasn't a thumbnail you were grumpy, and that was with Remington factory ammo.

 

A fantastic rifle for sure - if it hadn't been so heavy I'd have kept it. TBH, I wish I had really anyway, it was that nice!

i shoot alot,probably three or four times a week..today everything fell right,i was in a good mood my hands wernt to bad and the weather was good..so it all came together well, we were getting 4" groups at 540 yards..i went out friday night and couldnt hit a barn door,i missed atleast 75% of the stuff i shot at, to the point i let my mate shoot and i drove most of the night...with all the advise that gets posted on hear iv never read anyone saying that accurate shooting is mostly to do with being/feeling right at the time..

I feed my CZ 550 with PRVI ammo from Serbia. It gives excellent groups and is only £8 ish for a box of 20. I dont reload but can sell the empty brass on to someone who does.
