I just bought a new 22-250 rifle and was wondering what you experts would do as far as getting it nuts on. I only shoot paper when I sight a gun in and it will be a hunting and ranch gun, not a bench or beauty piece. I know this has probably been beat to death already, but I dont know how to search forums so sorry if its a dead horse.
The rifle is a Tikka T3 because it looked like a good truck gun, and I have read good things about them. I dont reload and will be shooting factory loads, most likely Hornadys.
I know that its not apple for apple but I used to shoot a .17 HMR for years and could kill ground squirrels at 50 yards or 300 yards on a regular basis because I shot all the time with it and knew what to do at "about that far" type ranges, and I never used a range finder and I dont even have one. 22-250 ammo costs to much to just figure it out, so what do you guys who shoot a lot do. I know it depends on the country but in Nevada it really varies. I usually dont see them until there about 100-200 yards out and that would be most of my shooting ranges while hunting......But when your out in a pasture and see one at 500 it would be nice to know roughly how high to aim. I have both federal 55 grain sierras and 40 grain Hornady bullets. Thanks very much!!
