New 22/250 loads

[tyson22250]

Started playing with two different bullets in 2 different 22/250's.
Looks like IMR 4166 has proven itself again!

Those look like you have little to no work left. I think a 22-250 might be the best deer hunting rifle available!

Excellent work. You're about finished.

Nice!!

Love the 22-250...

What bullets were you running?

I have never touched sierras before but heard nothing but good things. Last winter I had come across a deal on some so thought what the heck give them a try on coyotes. See if they are little more fur friendly then my current hornady v-max load. The top picture is the Sierra 55gr bthp gameking and the bottom picture is the Sierra 40gr hp. I forgot my chrony at home that evening so have no numbers. Just decent groups to show.

Tried 4166 in my swift. Good groups but it falls short on velocity.

Nice shooting!

I think if I were getting groups like that, I could live with them being a little slower. Sierras have always shot and performed well for me, but I have no experience with the .224 bullets. Nice shooting.

Yes I'm pretty happy with the ease of getting these sierras to shoot. If it was one gun I would have said I got lucky with the load. But with two guns I believe they are a very easy bullet to make accurate.
