Hey Guys
I am thinking of a ground squirrel load for my .22-250 Rem. When out in the field I most often use something a bit smaller such as a .223, a .204 or my .17 Remington. But, I got this thing on a trade and want to play with it some on our local whistlepig population. You know- just because.
And I have a couple of thousand 40 grain .224 bullets on hand of different make and figured that I may as well shoot some of them up but want to shoot them up making pieces of fur and guts fly at the same time.
So those of you that have had some good luck with the 40 grain bullets I would like to know what worked best for you. Yes, I know all the data online but I want personal loads from some of you. Don't need to be max loads, just accurate ones.
Got weeks yet before winter even starts. Got plenty of reloading to do so may as well try some new loads while I am at it.
