AZ_SAWBUCK Report post Posted August 11, 2015 Has anyone used this round or something similar to take Coues? I'm shooting a 55 grain varmint round out of my Ruger American. Any opinions on if it is too small for deer? Thanks JS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coueselk Report post Posted August 11, 2015 Works just fine. My daughter took her first 3 deer with a 22-250. 60gr partitions did the number. Shots were from 180 - 240 yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZ_SAWBUCK Report post Posted August 11, 2015 1:10" Twist. I don't know much about different barrels. But its a stock rifle with an adjustable trigger, 22" barrel and weighs 6.4 pounds. I have only shot it out to about 300 yards and its pretty accurate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesHunterAZ Report post Posted August 11, 2015 I used a 22-250 for two years, the first year it killed my brother and I's coues in one shot. The next year I shot the deer 7 times at 340 yards before he expired. It was a terrible experience and I recommend using a different caliber rifle because of it.

sherman Report post Posted August 11, 2015 My wife shot her first deer with my 22-250 Sendero and 1 good shot with a 55 gr core lock and he was down I would say keep shots under 200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big or Bust Report post Posted August 11, 2015 Energy? Not a good ballistic term. Bullet in good area = stuff dead. Great kids cartridge too.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherman Report post Posted August 11, 2015 Key is knowing the limits of you and your gun but I was going to use a 22-250 this year but had to sell it I would use a 60 gr solid bullet and push it hard and fast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
