22-250 and Jackrabbits = one big mess

[Lennyjoe]

All I can say is Whoa!

I finally got the opportunity to take the 22-250 out for some field shooting. The targets were jackrabbits. I hit a total of 3 at a range of between 60 and 100 yds this eve. All I can say is the 50gr Hornady V-max pretty much split the bunnies in two.

Plenty more out there to shoot but the area I was shooting was getting busy so I decided to quit shooting the rifle and used a shottie for the rest.

I am shooting the 50gr 22-250 rounds at around 3900fps with Varget powder and its one accurate round. I am working on 55gr rounds now for coyotes and can hardly wait to see the end result.

Total take for tonight was 15 jacks and several doves. Man I love my job.

Sweet. It must be nice to be able to use a rifle, I am limited to a shotgun at all times by the people in charge.

The 55gr loads for the 22-250 should work like a dream, it's what I use when I am not at work.

.223 and 22-250 can really do a number on little varmints.

22-250 + Utah Jackrabbits = easy pickings already tenderized for the coyotes and crows. A high speed running Jack is a real marksmanship test for most. Seeing lots of Jacks already this spring...Loks like great hunting to come.

this is the most accurate load in my 22-250, I use these for anything from ground squirrels to coyote... And boy do they all blow up...
