Default RE: Need advice on ammo selection

I shoot reloads, BUT I'd recommend something in the 50 gr. catagory. It's the middle of the road for the 22-250 and it should give you a good starting point. As far as which brand and bullet, I like ballistic tips but have used soft points andhollow points, and I'm not faithful to any one bullet manufacturer.

i agree with howler 50gr.-55gr. ive shot hornady v max, federal, and winchester factory loads. all shot well for me. buy a few different and see what your rifle likes.
