It will surprise you. I've witnessed some results in the field that you wouldn't think to be normal. It has been my experience to "my ears" that the rounds with more pressure have actually been very pleasantly suppressed. The 22-250 has a very nice tone with the cans we are using, almost a hiss tone. Lastnight we killed another triple and my brother is using a shorter SRT Hurricane Ti, and man that thing is a wicked can for the the OAL. I usually reflect instantly after his shots and am very satisfied with the performance.
