i just ordered a 22-250 with a 1:10 twist. i've been using a 220gr eldx out of a 300 win mag for groundhogs but i'm looking for something a bit less damaging to the pelt.
i'm guessing the heavier weight bullets will be more stable against the wind at 500-600 yards but i'm looking for feedback.
i've considered 40, 50, 55, and 64gr bullets. Sure part of the joy of a new rifle is trying new things but i've also never splurged on "fancy brass" like nosler or anything like that. Normally i stick w/ PPU or mix of once fired brass and it's good enough for sub moa work after ocw load testing.
I already reload 55gr vmax for 223 so i'm thinking i'll try to make 55gr work...
I guess what i'm asking is.. whats your favorite weight for 22-250, also post twist rate for reference.
