« on: January 15, 2009, 09:44:20 PM »

Thanks!!!

Thanks guys. . .I was planning on shooting the 55 grain BT's because they have a higher BC and looked to have the best ballistic's charts of all the factory loaded bullet weights. . .looks like you guys are shooting the same thing so I must not be too far off in my thinking.

Thanks again!!!

 :)45 -55 grain, I like Noslers, Sierras. in factory loads like winny white box 45 and Hornady Varmit express 55.

My 22-250 must be real slow tho. ;)
my 55 grain load is at:
3650 fps      2 inch high at 100,  dead nuts about 230-250 ,  3-5 inch low at 300, 12-14 low at 400.

All my books and shooting experience tell me that  1.1 high at 100 is on at 200, 5-6 low at 300, and 16-18 low at 400.

The 45 grain seems to drop a little more past 300 yards, not much.
This is a great cartridge, one of my all time favs, but it aint magic.
