Ok I picked up my Ruger 77 MkII the other day in 22-250. THis is there high end Competition model. 26 inch Bull barrel, two stage Match trigger, Beautiful wood. The whole nine yards. I also picked up some Horandy V-Max ammo. (40 Grain)
So I co out to the wood pike that I normally use for this. I use this wood pile because it is old wood that isn't any good for Burning for whatever reason. Good for judgeing rifle rounds. I have used everything from .22lr to 30/06 on it. Affects have been everything from a small hole to breaking the wood in two.
Well I go out there and take aim from about 50 yards. When I touched off a round the log just exploded. So I thought to myself "It must have been rotten and bug infested. No big deal I go and hand pick a piece to aim at. Find a nice one about as big around as my arm and set it up. Went back to my firing position and fired again.
Once again the log was turned into sawdust. It just exploded.
I have come to two conclusions. I love the 22-250. And a .22 calliber bullet can be effective against a large target. I shiver to think of what this would do to a person or large animal
