| Nothing wrong with the 22-250 on rabbits, turns em inside out. I reckon you should look at a savage 22-250, as some of them come in a 1:12 twist. As well as being accurate and very nice on the trigger, the 1:12 twist should help you stabilise the 60gr nosler partition bullet. For deer, this would be a great bullet to use. However for varmints like rabbits and foxes you will want a ballistic tip. Ive shot foxes over 350m away with my 22-250, its more than possible to make shots 400m away with this calibre in my opinion.
In a regular barrelled rifle, like mine, I usually shoot three shots and give it a rest for a bit as i dont want the barrel too hot. But im sure if you went a heavy barrel rifle, you could get five or so shots away. Not like you will get more than two shots off on a wily fox or deer if you miss the first. Go a savage if you can get ahold of one and get the 1:12 twist for the 60gr nosler partitions. Federal even makes them in a factory load if you dont want to reload them. |
