      There is something I have learned while shooting. If you ever see a small songbird sitting somewhere, and you tell yourself you will NEVER be able to hit it, don't shoot at it. Because your fundamentals will be perfect on that shot and you will ALWAYS kill that poor bird.

    glad to see someone else other then me that knows a 22_250.... i have a old Remington 788 bought new in 1977 out of all the bullet combinations and powders I've tried... almost any bullet any powder is good enough to kill a deer at 200 yards... but for competition shooting you looking at dime groups at 200 yards??? I only found two loads in mind that work perfect no scope adjustment either both rounds fly on top of each other. a 50 gr Winchester ballistic silvertip with 38 grs of H380. my favorite is 55 gr Hornady V max with 35.5 grs of Imr 4895......

    The 22-250 is now considered an older cartridge but man is it a screamer! I was introduced to it by Shooting Times author Rick Jameson. The 22-250 was among his favorite cartridges and Rick did an extensive load development. Although I've always been fascinated with it for some reason I never purchased a rifle chambered in it.............but there's lots of time to change this! Nice work John and Happy New Year!

    I have shot a pickup load of whitetail deer with a 22-250 with 55 grain soft point bullets of various manufacture, I only had to shoot two deer with a second shot, both were due to bad placement, chest cavity and neck shots have always ended in rapid dispatch of the deer. I have stepped up my 22-250 to 22-250 AI with a 1x7 twist and shoot bullets up to 80 grains with great results on deer and hogs.

    All my RCBS and Redding seating dies I remove the seat stem and polish the cup edge and a little bit up into the cup. This usually doesn’t leave a ring mark on the bullet nose, unless it’s a highly compressed gunpowder chamber, which will leave a slight ring. It’s really depends on the particular bullet type with more likely with varmint type bullets, and less likely with medium/big game bullets. Also the type of gunpowder I’ve noticed that spherical type gunpowders compress with less force then kernel type gunpowders.

    Well. I couldnt stop thinking of your 6.5 pic video today. I am trying to form/fire form some 38/55. In the process I destroyed 2 of my very limited number of 60 year old original pieces of brass. Broke the extractor on the 94. Destroyed countless. 30/30 cases. Then after just about getting it figured. I walked through the garage door and blasted my barrel on the top door jam. Yep time to watch some Johhnys reloading bench and further piss off the old lady. Who I might add. Doesn't appreciate the explosions coming from the garage.

      Maybe a 22 Creedmoor if Johnny is good with going custom or hopefully it gets a SAAMI spec and rifle manufacturers catch up with ammunition and brass manufacturers. Rather than specifying a "custom" twist use a similar cartridge with the faster twist as standard like 6.8 Western over 270WSM.

    Johnny, I Zeroed a Bergara B-14 24" barrel for my partner with Hornady 22-250 V-Max 50 gr at 100yds. I can't believe how well it sends those. like almost one hole group, so took it to 300 yds. with .1 mil up, shot a .38 " group,, it's FPS avg. is 3975, you have any clue what powder they are using? Most what I see except for the H 380 you loaded is around 3500-3600 FPS, all of the shots were out of the box. He took it P dog hunting in ND 3 weeks ago and was busting them at 550yds.

    Hey Shannon so for the longest time I have done a method where I wet tumble do all my sizing stuff and at the end I wet tumble again. Recently though I got a henderson precision trimmer and found something unsettling. Wet tumbling at the end causes the case mouth to peen over and it measured for a 223 at about .218 so now I ultrasonic clean at the end instead.. just an FYI in case you're meticulous about neck tension

    You can compensate for the twist rate by pulling the trigger more slower. Like a 1 in 14 twist can be made into a 1 in 12 twist by pulling the trigger 2 times more slower. Mathematician like this… (1+14) - (1*12/.02)

    I love the .22-250 and I've killed several deer with it using Federal ammo with a 55 gr. HP. It bugs me that gun manufacturers will not provide those of us who love shooting the .22 CFs with rifles with a faster twist so that we can use larger bullets. I love the .22 Hornet and I've killed a buttload of deer with it, all throat shots at 100-150 yards with my hand loads. All of these .22 CF except maybe a Swift are just too slow so, unless you can find a gunny to replace the barrel and set it up for you, just cannot stabilize anything greater than 45-47 grains. At Hornet velocities a 55-65 grainer would really shine in that caliber. Same with all of them actually.

    • @vicroc4

      Never done much research on the .22 centerfires outside of .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, so it kind of surprises me that the twist rates are so slow. I'm used to seeing a 9:1 twist at the slowest.
      Then again, I do know that bolt action .223s tend to be down in the 12:1 range, so maybe not so surprising. Still, you'd think at least one manufacturer would've looked at the success of the semiauto .223s and gone, "Hmm, maybe they're on to something."

      You have the Wrong powder!!! Horrible group??? Either terrible shot or the powder choice for both: Wrong!!! Could be the powder charge: rework it again? Original trigger on 788? Not very impressed with this video…. But gun isn’t his and I’m my opinion only Did a half ass attempt at reloading…….
