So without getting into a moral debate on whether or not a .22 caliber rifle should be used for deer hunting or not I'd like to ask for opinions on the best bullets to load up with that as the intended purpose.
Lets say I have a 22-250 that I am working up some handloads intended for deer hunting. What bullet would you reccomend?
I had intended on using 60gr Nosler Partitions, but the 1 in 14 twist of my barrel will not reliably stabalize them. They are fine out to 100yards, but after that they fly all over. I was testing them the other day, and at 100 they are great, < 1" three shot groups. They just fly all over after that though. 200 yard groups were 6" and larger. 3 shot groups with the Sierra Blitz 50gr bullets were < 1" @ 200.
So what lighter bullets would be best for larger game, WI whitetail specifically? I am thinking the 53gr Barnes Triple Shock or the Sierra Gameking Spitzers in 55gr.
Any other good options out there?
