Broke in new 22 250

[B B]

Impressed with Hornady 50gr V-Max.  They don't even twitch and no exit.  Both shots 100+/- 

 

South Jersey mountain range.   Don't know why they like to climb it, but it's like a deer in the snow

22 250 is a great round. its a necked downed 30 06 . that .22 caliber is booking down range. nice shot.

22-250 is a great round but not based on the 30-06 in any way.  It is a necked down 250-3000 savage case

I'm surprised you didn't get an exit on either.  I load 55 vmax for my 22-250's and my 223's and the few woodchuck I've shot with that bullet from the 22-250 made a mess.  I'm not loading it real hot either so it wouldn't be any faster than they typical factory load.  I wouldn't think the 5 grains would make much difference.

I was just as surprised, but then again I never used them.  I remember a few years ago a buddy who shoots a lotta hogs told me he loves them in .223 cause if he misses and hits a blade of grass the bullet desinarrates 

First pic is the one I shot on the lime mound.  POI was neck area so relatively soft area.  Small entrance no exit.  Second pic POI was just below chin and as you can see no exit on back side.  Actually had to put forth an effort to find POI.  No mess till my pup got a hold of him.

Fun gun to shoot and basically got it for free with gift cards and Cabelas points.  looking forward to the fields getting sprayed/plowed so I can see them with some distance between us.

Great round, that 204 ruger I had would really tear them up if you hit any bone
