Thats about what I figured another 100 yards or so...
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.

A buck and a doe, both shoot with a 22-250 using 80gr A Max.
Both dead. I guess I should have used 60gr Partitions since one overpenetrated and exited. Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I sold the rifle to a fellow Campfire member.......
Of course now I'm working on a new one......

I've killed whitetails with a 22-250 and really light bullets, 40gr. But I have since changed to a 257 Roy because (i had some $ to buy one) of the lack of blood if they don't drop. It'll kill 'em but need a steady hand and good shot placement, as with any shot I suppose

Both of the deer I shot were almost the same shot placement.
Both about the same size; 125 pounds.
Both shot at 75 yards.
The buck stumbled five yards and died. The bullet was found under the skin on the off side. What blood?
The doe ran 100 yards and crossed two creeks. The bullet exited and she pumped enough blood for a blind man to see.
A-Max 80gr........22-250...

battue, Some here have commented on the .22-250 being used out past 300, however I thought it could be asking more than it may be able to consistentelly give. A friend of mine took at least two and maybe three deer beyond 400 yards last season just to check the performace of the Barnes. He was using a .22-250 and either fifty-three or fifty-five grainers.

This one took it with a 222. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j467/tobytruby1/tobyphonegunnerandwyattandbaileysbustersbigbucks002.jpg) They dont work Toby Joe Toby, have to admit, seeing an adult taking kids out hunting and having those kid of results, you are a credit to the sport... a measure of a real man is not what we do in life, but what we pass on to the next generation... you sir, are an icon...
