I am looking for a 22-250 for varmits and target shooting past 400 yards. I plan to reload for it. My budget is about 600 without a scope. Any suggestions on brand or model? I only found 1 with a 9 twist and it was 1000.
Back in the early 80's, a 22/250 paid for a goodly share of my groceries. Between coyote fur and "barnyard matches", I paid bills and put macaroni on the table.
I'd bet whatever pocket cash I had with any taker @ 400 yards. We'd tack 2 of whatever denomination bills side x side (edges touching) on the side of an abandoned shed and if I put a 22/250 bullet anywhere on that 7"x 7" spot, I got both bills. I picked my days and conditions but it sure impressed a lot of folks. This wouldn't be considered extraordinary today but it was exceptional 40 years ago.
