Pretty interesting fps in this video

Got some factory .22-250 that claims 4,000 fps

204R does tha easy.

Used to shoot 55gr BT’s in the 243 4000 fps

Chrono'd my 22-250 with 40 grain BTs at 4180 and my 17 Remington used to clock around 4020 on a regular basis with 25 grain Hornady HPs....

I'm guessing that a steady diet of 4000 fps would burn up a barrel pretty quickly.

41 grains of H380 behind a 40gr Ballistic Tip gave 4002-4012 fps out of my 22-250.

Not impressed.

I should load up some 20 gr, bullets in my 17/204 just to see how fast they would fly, for [bleep] and giggles. 30 gr. run over 4000 fps all day long.

28 grains of RL 7 out of a 223, will give your 4000 fps, with a 40 grain Ballistic Tip, and a little faster with a 35 grain BT/ Lead Free bullet. The brass doesn't seem to notice or care...

out of a bolt action at least.

.20 VarTarg does it easily too. Crows are compressed.

The second time I've seen a vid that featured the FX chrono. I seems to never miss a shot. A thousand bucks, but figure the price will lower some later.

Thinking I gave about $250 for my first chrono, likely $500 in 2023 dollars & I'd hate to add up the number of shots I fired over it that it didn't read.

Yawn. What's old becomes new again.

The year 1935-220 Swift @4100fps. A 48gr bullet on top of non-canister IMR3031 says Phil Sharpe.

Sabots- see Remington Accelerator- 30-30 55gr. SP @3,400 fps-308 Win 55gr SP @3,770 fps-30-06 55gr SP @4,080 fps. Accuracy was really questionable with these. Maybe the sound of a bullet whizzing by scares groundhogs to death at 200 yds.

When did Labradar start to read over 4000fps? Thinking the video is a plug for the new $1000 device. My 35 year old Oehler works just fine. It misses very few shots if I use common sense in its set-up. Unsure of its top end. It read 4400fps last year with 40s out of a 22-250 Ackley. I wonder what even lighter bullets will do?

The Thermos killing dork in the video sounds like he has a giggler pin up his ass.

Easily. Makes fur and feathers explode.

With a >243 and lite bullets I see no need for a 22-250, gave both of mine away. Rio7

What a maroon.

Backfire is a drama queen

Son of the Gael, would you care to clarify your statement,and prove me wrong. Rio7

My 1977 model 77 Ruger accounted for a few Whtetails run-in 55 go's at 4000 fps. Did not have to trail a single one.

Very much so.

I suspect he is taking about Jim Harmer, the guy in the video.

Perhaps I misunderstood , if so? if so my Apology's . Rio7

Yes, I was referring to the guy in the video, no disrespect to you, Rio. Should have been more clear, my apologies.

Son of Gael, No Sweat, Thanks Rio7

Hunted with a guy who preached .22-250 Rem for deer!
Yep! Deer didn't run, not very far anyway! ...but about the only thing left fit to eat was the hindquarters!
The whole front half of the deer was bloodshot!

I built a .257STW that launches a 75 bullet at 4K ps... Also have a .17 Rem that spits out a 25 gr. varmint bullet at the same speed... Fun stuff!

I hunted exclusively with a 22-250 for a number of years because my late uncle used it to exclusion of other cartridges. Worked pretty well on deer as long as the range wasn't too bad. Then i had a coues whitetail not fire with a pretty decent hit. Luckily i made an amazing hail Mary follow-up and broke his back.

I rebarreled that Ruger shortly thereafter to 7mm-08 and never looked back.

I have an 8 twist now that i can shoot better bullets in but i doubt i will ever kill another deer with a 22.

I have pushed 55 grain bullets to 4100 out of my 6x47 L and 6 SLR. Ballistic tips are the only ones that reliably make it to the target.

In my younger years, I associated speed with lethality.
I found some .277 Sierra 90 gr HP bullets. My loading manual suggested IMR 3030 for a muzzle velocity of 3750fps!
I was "smitten"! LOL!
Loaded up 20 to try out, but never got the opportunity!
Fast forward to deer season. I'm out of 130 grain ammo for my .270, so sighted it in with the 90 grain HP's!
Clover leaf accurate!

Opening morning:

A small but legal buck steps out over 100 yards away. My scope is dialed up on 9×.
When the rifle fired, it took a few seconds for my brain to comprehend what my eyes had just seen!
Before the recoil had the opportunity to destroy my sight picture, I witnessed the deer's feet flip over in the scope! 🤯!

You boys nailed it.

There's no fly's on the 22-250, I used mine for years on Coyotes, Bobcat, Pigs and Deer, even Killed a couple of Spike Elk with mine, But my .243s would do everything my 22-250s would do and more, so I discarded the 22-250s and added a .243 1x7.5 twist A.I. and a 6 CM 1x8 twist, and I'm not looking back YMMV Rio7

How about 5.000?

I've never tried, or cared to try flinging a bullet that fast. Last time I was in my cousin's 450 acre prairie dog town I used a 35 whelen and 200gr round nose bullets. I could toss dogs way out there. Have a 223 Remington, but don't hot rod it. Moderate speeds have always worked well for me.

Had a rifle builder that I worked for one summer that got some of the Remington sabots. His bright idea was to run 40gr 224s over a stiff load in a 300 Roy. I forget what chrono said whenever it didn’t error out, but seems mid or more 4Ks. 4600? Couldn’t group them inside a basketball, so he gave up playing. They were impressive whenever we could hit a full coke can, though. This was early 90s. I was 21 and thought it made no sense even that young and dumb.

Edit: he could have been getting over 5k …..I just can’t recall, other than it was pretty unheard of afaik.

Again, I don’t try to shoot varmints with tiny bores at 300+, so maybe that’s the niche?

You guys can guess if you want.
After watching the idiot youtube..No it was not a sabot of any kind

Amazingly STUPID Fhuqk................

I've never heard of anyone actually achieving 5000 fps.

One that really cracks me up is Hornady claiming their 204 Ruger ammo with 32gr VMax bullets shoots 4225fps

Have shot this ammo through my Oehler 35p with 6 different rifles, with a 22" barrel you will NEVER see 4000fps (unless you have a Shooters Chrony), with a 26" barrel you might get in the low 4000's.........but Hornady's claim is a flat out lie !!!!!!!!!

I used to use a .220 Swift for deer hunting here in Kodiak. But carrying out a deer and running into a bear makes the .220 seem very small. It did work fine on deer though.

I can't imagine where a 200 grain bullet would land when skipped acrossed the prarie.

Used softnose Remington Core-lokts for this job, which is hardly a FMJ. Don't recall ever hearing any spinning ricochets as is commonly the case with the 22LR. At Whelen speeds they exhibited similar effects to a very large varmint bullet. The huge clouds of dust and dirt was almost as spectacular as the effects on prairie dogs. One looked like it's head was perfectly surgically removed, very clean from the shoulders up. At this particular locale it would have been safe to use just about anything. Truly nothing around except prairie for miles and miles. North East of Liberal, Kansas.

Apparently, sabots make it easier based on some physics I’m not qualified to get into….but why tank guns use them maybe.

One of the worst youtube channels out there.....just a skinny-fat dipschitt making clickbait

What YouTube channel? I posted a 2015 googled blog post/article. Is the author your ex or something?;) Calm down Francis. It was just some evidence that 5k may/may not have been achieved, but has for sure been worked at. It was not any sort of promotion for/endorsement of your target of animas….whatever that is.

Couldn't stand listening to this guy's voice, yelling. And all the waving of arms. No thanks. Plus, 4K fps is not a big deal.

Ah….my bad then. I missed that. Based on your take, I’ll keep on missing it. Lol

The fastest I've gone is 4400 with a 17 rem and 30g vmaxes. It would blow up on the hide and create a nasty flesh wound on Jack rabbits. The 25g hp at 4000 was a better killer.

I have a 22-250 that does close to 4300 with 40g nbts and shoots tiny groups. Varmints within 400 yards hate that one. Although lately it's been the 7 twist 22 creed or 8 twist tikka 22-250 that's been getting in the truck. I need to get the old slow twist with 40s out again.
