Is there a reason to get a 22-250 Remington?

50 grain Sierra Blitz King at 3800fps will do that to a groundhog's head too. I have the pictures to prove it. The ones I hit in the body don't explode though...there is an entry hole..no exit hole and they kind of slosh when you pick them up.

22-250s are like land rover's those who have one love it. The rest of us don't know why.

Perhaps not the best analogy. The romantic appeal of a Rover disappears relatively early in the ownership endeavor for most, as soon as they're out of warranty and the repair bills quickly equal or exceed the exorbitant monthly payment. Wanna guess what the air springs on a Range Rover or the 100,000 mile service on a Freelander cost? lol.

A friend stopped by my house the other day and we ended up in the man cave around my reloading and gun area. He asked why would anyone need to own 3 22-250 rifles? My answer was twofold. I told him because I like the 22-250 and these are the remaining 22-250 rifles out of over a dozen I've owned in my lifetime that consistently cut 1/2" MOA or less holes in targets @100 yds. I've shot sub MOA 200 yd groups with a few of them. Yes, accurate rifles are definitely interesting. The 22-250 has been a mainstay caliber in my battery of varmint and predator hunting rifles and, if I were limited to only one rifle for coyote hunting it was be the 22-250…hands down!
