azslim Report post Posted October 13, 2013 what are you using it for? I'd use differently constructed bullets depending on the target - varmints or big game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOMP442 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 My savage model 12 varmint and savage axis both have 12 twist barrels and I can shoot the 69 grain match king into 3/4" groups at 200 yards and they stabilize fine out to 800 yards with 35.5 grains of reloader 17 and 3300 fps. With that said the new 53 grain Vmax has a b.c. of .290 and can be launched over 3700 fps with the same accuracy and 36 grains of IMR 4064. Bigger may not be better but it all depends on what you are wanting to do and the twist rate of your rifle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted October 13, 2013 I used the 50 NBT from my 22-250 for predators and it worked wonderfully. Used the same bullet from my AR to kill a javelina. Worked well for the pig, but I would not use it for deer. I would use a Partition (http://www.cabelas.com/product/Nosler-reg-Partition-reg-Caliber-Diameter-Bullets-Per/751596.uts) The Barnes TSX (http://www.cabelas.com/product/Nosler-reg-Partition-reg-Caliber-Diameter-Bullets-Per/751596.uts) Or the new 64 grain Bonded from Nosler.... From my understanding, this bullet is an Accubond with out the polymer tip.

PRDATR Report post Posted October 13, 2013 In my Model 788 I have used 50 to 55 gr bullets on Varmints and Javelina and Federal Premium factory loads with the 55gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claw's for Mule Deer Doe's out to 200 yards with great results. Before shooting big calibers at very long ranges became all the rage the 22-250 was a very very popular caliber for Coues Deer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoteHunter Report post Posted October 13, 2013 The problem with balistic tips on coyotes is it makes huge exit holes. I went from vmax to sp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big or Bust Report post Posted October 14, 2013 You have a 14" twist with that Sendero... Do you reload? If not, I'd find some factory 50 or 55 TTSX and rock on... If you reload, you have a few additional options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherman Report post Posted October 14, 2013 Yes I do reload it will be mostly used for varmint thanks for the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
