If you dont reload, finding ammuniton can be a chore. Not every manufacturer is making it. I think a good 22-250 or .223 would be a better choice. I buy the usa white and black box loads in .223 from Walmarts. They are a 45 gr. jhp at 3600 fps. I use these every once in awhile for kicksto deer hunt out of a ar-15 type rifleand actually took a whitetail at 323 yards 2 years ago with one shot. It ran about 10 yards and fell over stone dead. They make these loads in the 22-250 also at 4000 fps.
