.22-250 Best Varmint Ammo?
I am going to pick up a .22-250 next week and am wondering what ammo would be the best for coyotes, prairie dogs, and other varmints.
(bullet weight and bullet type)
I plan on getting a Weatherby Vanguard Varmint Special or a Remington 700 SPS Varmint. Most of my shots will range from 100 yards to 400 yards. I don't really care about pelt damage.
Thanks
Sweet!!! You are gonna love the 22-250. As far as accuracy my 700 loved Remington Core-Lokt in 55grain and Federal Soft point 55gr. They would put 5 holes in 1" at 250 yards if I did my part. I don't know the science of why, but they were the ones that flew best in mine. I assume the soft point would be fine for the smaller critters. They worked for me on almost a dozen whitetail and many, many coyotes. Experiment with lots of different loads and have fun.

Long range prairie dog, groundhog 600 + yds. heavy .223, .243 or what else.?
I want a round that I can use cheap factory brass as the rounds above or maybe form one from cheap brass (as I reload). To practice, I will be using clay pigeons at that range. The rifle will be a blue-printed savage, heavy barreled, and for scope I'm going with a nikon for sure, just my prefrence. I don't understand why more .223 aren't used in say 600 yd benchrest as the are comparable to .308 in wind and drop when using heavy bullets.
