I agree, Ruddy...

The 22-250 can and will shoot well with 55 gr pills out to 450yds. Ask all the coyotes that have died by this very recipe!!! My .22-250 AIwill do 3460fps with 55's and shoot them into a nickle all day long. I have the trigger set to a very crisp 2.5 lbs and the crown is recut to 11 degrees, lugs lapped, bolt face trued etc. The cartridge is up to the job, the reality is, many shooters are not! They don't practice long range shooting which is necessary to be successful at sniping critters beyond 300yds. JMHO
