Great picture Huntsman. Love those S&W's.
To expand a bit on the 22-250 as a trapping gun. I would sometimes run a trap line for several weeks away from home. Space & weight were a problem since I ran a Toyota & only had room for one rifle. I used three loads in that gun.
#1 52gr Speer HP @ 3625 fps. Main calling, 300 yd coyote & blow up jackrabbit load. Sighted in 1.5 inches high @ 100 yds.
#2 40gr Hornet bullet @ 2600fps. Close calling/thin skinned critters. This load would hit dead on @ 100 yds.
#3 55gr Hardball @ 2200fps. Small game load for camp eats. This load was dead on @ 50 yds.
I have fired over 5,000 rounds through that rifle. Lots of good memories.
