In wyoming 22 center fires are legal for deer and antelope. If the bullet is 60 grains or more.
I have a 22-250 with a 14 twist.
I just now tried the 60 partition and it shot 12 inch groups at 160 yards.
Has anyone had good luck with the other 60-65 224 bullets in a 14 twist when the partition failed?
They aren't turning side ways. Nice round holes just a long way apart.
I've pretty much just shot 50 ballistic tips in this rifle before, which I note are longer than the 60 partition according to nosler.
Right after the foot groups with the partition I shot a 1.5 inch group with the 50 ballistic tip.

Try hornady 60 grainer soft points, Sierra 63 smp, winchester 64 grainer, or Nosler bonded 64 grainers.
Easiest will probably be the Sierra 63 smp.

I had great results with the 64 gr WW power pt in my ss M77 Mk2 22-250 with a 1-14 twist on antelope. Used 3031 IMR. Magnum Man

I've used and had easy deer accuracy at 150 yards with both 63 SMP (Sierra) and the 64 Powerpoint in 14 twist 222s; more better in the 12 twist 223s from the same era though.

Can you kill big game with a .22 CF?
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

Its legal in Idaho but I have no need to try it. My 30-06 is a lb lighter than my 22-250.

Load up some Barnes 50 gr ttsx and give em a go. The faster the better and will easily and ethically kill deer doornail dead.

64 grain Winchester/Olin PPs might work.

Easiest will probably be the Sierra 63 smp. That's the list I would suggest as well. Since the rifle obviously likes BTs, I'd also give a few 60gr BTs a try if just for giggles.

If you read much on here you'll find that a lot of people have trouble getting them to shoot decent, and I'm one of them. Tried them in three different 14 twist rifles. With my Tikka I couldn't even hit the target. I got my Swift down to about a 2 inch group. I did get a buddy's 10 twist 223 WSSM down around MOA with them. I finally got tired of messing with them and traded them to someone else. I've currently got some of the 64 Noslers and 63 Sierras to work with. Too bad you can't use the little Hornady 55gr SP. They've shot great in everything I've tried them in, and flatten deer!
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I was concerned that any bullet above 55 would be bad. The partitions aren't key holeing but I was wondering if they are on the verge of it and that's why they shoot so bad.
So it made me wonder if I'd have the same results with any 60-64 grain bullet.
Any one have a "sample pack" of the suggested bullets they'd like to sell?

As already suggested the 63 gr. Sierra and 64 WW work fine out of all of my .22-250's and Swifts.. I also shoot them in my .222 and .223 for gobblers.. The 60 gr. Part.s have always shot very well for me.. I use I4350 with all of these bullets.. The Sierra is a bit soft, but we have killed several dozen head of big game with it..

If you have a loaded cartridge in the field, how the puck are they going to check the bullet weight?
Rock on with a 50 TTSX

You musta missed the part from the OP that said he had to be above 60 grains to be legal.... Oopsie. Haven't had coffee yet my bad. And, you probably missed the ingwe doctrine: 55 gr. Barnes are better than 50 gr.... But, that's with faster twist and of course, in his .223AI/McFlame... Bullet length is critical to twist. The 64 gr. BSB looks pretty stubby to me and I would try those, in fact am working up loads for my Rem .22-250/14 twist, using those and 64 gr. Power Points. DF

I have a 22-250 with a 14 twist. I have a Browning A-Bort 1:14" that shoots 70gr Speers very well. Those bullets are semi-spitzers, so are short for weight. I am going to try 53gr TSX in it this yr. They will work fine on deer.
