Is the 223 & 22-250 bullet head the same ?

[Mr Fudd]

Don't bother with the .204 as its only flatter with lighter bullets which don't have the knock down power, go for the 22-250 as you can get that up too near the same speeds with a 50 gr which will still have the knock down power you need however after a few runners I'm looking to up the weight to ensure a clean drop on the spot but at the cost of 100-200 fps however it will still be flatter and faster than anything else

Don't bother with the 53gr V-max in your 22-250 as I've just dropped a bollock trying the same, bought my new toy a Sako 85 finnlight early last year in 22-250 and never looked back however the barrel is 1 in 14 twist as standard and too slow for the longer bodied 53gr! it doesn't tell you anywhere online but it is in the manual, I didn't check so now have about 400 of the things that won't stabilise!!

So if anybody wants to buy them drop me a pm as they are already sorted by weight into a few groups, less than 53.1 gr, 53.1 gr, 53.2 gr 53.3 gr and over 53.3 gr, the majority of them are sat within the three middle group weights Hornady bullet number is #22265

Really? Have a look at The Coyote Kid (Long Range Coyote 502 Yards with.204 Ruger) on youtube.

.220 Swift, anyone?

Never had a 220 swift but used a 22-250 till the barrel died, at the 300 yard ish ranges wind becomes the problem and a fast heavy bullet is the way to go plus the bonus of a little more knock down. I used 55g blitz kings with a good success rate. Now playing with a 223 1in7 twist barrel and 80g Bergers.
