I bet if you had an Amax type bullet in the 69gr coming out of a .22-250 or .220 you would have a great deer gun within 300 yds. depending on twist rate

How much do you want to bet?  I will take that bet and raise the stakes that couldn't be able to keep 10/10 shots on a paper plate at 300 out of north of 95% of the 22-250 & 220 rifles out there. 

I represent a third part who chooses to remain anonymous, but accepts your bet. The prize will be a consecion to the other party's point of view.

Terms of the bet are as follows:
- Weapon will be an SPR
- Ammo will be Mk262
- Target size is 10"
- Range 300 yards
- Optics will be shooter's choice

The third party has acutually suggested that the target be a 3mph mover, but I feel like that's just being boastful. He may do it anyways though.  :chuckle:

That sounds like a notorious fellow with an AR fetish.

I was at the range and a couple guys showed up with a 700 BDL Varmint in 22-250 and had loaded up a bunch of 75 Gr A-max.  The few that arrived on target were sideways.  They had them loaded all the way up to where the bolt was sticking and things never got better for them.  A lot of early 220s have a 1:16 barrel on them and would not do as well as a 1:14 22-250.  These bullets were not tipping, they were flying end over end and I doubt a six grain lighter bullet would do much better.  I have seen enough 1:14 22-250s that will shoot a 55 V-max, but about as many 1:14 barrels don't.   

When you look at the print on the target with a loop you can see that the bullet is tipping.
