I'm curious about the difference between this and a 22-250. Is it more in line with the .224 Valkyrie?Quote:

I expect to get ballpark 300 fps more with a 75 grain pill than the 22-250 will do.

630 yards with the 260. Middle pic is from the dog looking back towards the pickup (where I shot from)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...644fd4afbe.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a104a83704.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b2e98f0756.jpg

What kind of rifle is your 260? What kind of optic do you have on it?Quote:

It's a Savage model 10 with a 6.5x20 Vortex Viper (about a12 year old scope) and a BattleDog suppressor from Elite Iron. That shot was made with a 123 grain ELD-M leaving the barrel at about 2965fps.

Called this one in to about 110 yards. The pic doesn't show it but the exit between his shoulder blades is enormous. About the size of a mini football or 3 softballs.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...52decd4106.jpg

Called one in before him but at about 125 yards, he spotted us, swapped ends and left... With lead chasing him[emoji16]
Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk
I can see that tuft of fur above his shoulder where the exit is. Looks impressive.Quote:

It's kinda crazy, this one didn't bleed much either. But if ya look just by the bipod there, you can see a chunk of his lung there on the ground... It's bright pink in contrast to everything else.

I can definitely see it. Lol.Quote:

Another one of Wes' bullets found it's Mark... Kind of. 652 yard shot. Saw the hit, saw the death dance, saw the coyote tip over. When I got to the spot, the dog was gone... But he did a neat dance and left a bunch of fur. I'm sure he's dead somewhere. 22-243 Middlestead [emoji4]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...efc6c3400a.jpg

What bullet did you end up with for that rifle? What velocity are you getting out of it?

I'm shooting the 75gr Hornady ELD-M'S at just over 3300fps with IMR 8208XBRQuote:

I'm not done testing yet, but that load will do while I try other powders and such.

Awesome! I’ve got some good enough loads also. Good way to get the gun out shooting quicker.Quote:

Cowcatcher, the 22-250 pictured is a 1:10 twist and 12.5" LOP if I am not mistaken.
You are getting a super fast rotational velocity from the bullet and it will come apart fast. Great for a fast kill and energy dump.
I came very close to buying one like yours and now wish I would have as they have been discontinued. The long bbl and longer LOP still isavailable and I just might end up with one of those or a Compact chambered in 6Creedmoor. --- SAWMAN
Called this fella in to 275 yards. Again, I was watching dogs way way out there and this one snuck up on me. Bullet preformed wonderfully, exit about the size of a 50 cent piece. Killed one earlier that was bad mangy, no photo of him. Easy 100 yard shot.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3471bbe646.jpg

Yes it's the Ruger American compact in 22-250. I have one in 223 also. They are handy lil suckers.Quote:

I will most likely end up with a Ruger American chambered in 6Creedmore just for its 1:7.7 twist. I really like that rate over the 243Win's typical 1:9.
Will buy another stock (Compact) from Ruger to drop it in.
Good hunting to you sir. --- SAWMAN
Need to get on the ones out on our new land before the calves and baby goats start dropping. Also need to adjust the year on my trail cam. Just noticed it was off by a few years

420 yd coyote with my 25-06, 6x Leupold and the 115 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip.

160 yd coyote with the same rifle, but the 115 gr Berger VLD. NOT a fur-friendly bullet, the off-side is pretty messy. On the other hand, the yote didn't go anywhere, just dropped:

Nice coyotes. Great shooting on that 420yd one.Quote:

I was wondering about you the other day, I hadn’t seen any pictures from you in awhile. Nice coyote, how far? What was that he was eating on?Quote:
