dcshorthairs Report post Posted January 1, 2015 Looking to get some input from you guys on a known good load for varmits. Looking for a 100 to 300 yard bullet/load combo that does not damage the hide much and provides good knock down power. I know that shot placement is key when hunting these varmits, but what works for your 22-250? I have been running 55 grain Nosler BT's around 3600fps. Hit a couple dogs over the weekend and 1 was ok the other was tore up bad. Any recommendations? Bullet, powder? BTW, I am using a Remington 700 22-250 26" bull barrel. I think the twist is 1/14. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancetkenyon Report post Posted January 1, 2015 I like the 52gr. SMK in my .22-250. Was not as explosive as V-Max or the like, but never had a yote walk away from one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dse Report post Posted January 1, 2015 I like the 40 gr v-max and RL-15. But the v-max or nbt tend to be messy when they hit shoulder blades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dcshorthairs Report post Posted January 1, 2015 NBT's definitely get the job done. I had a guy tell me a week ago he was shooting 50 grain boat winchester boat tails with good luck. Never shot those either. My gun loves the nbt and the hornaday vmax's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
