I bought a 722 Rem. years ago that was a 25 cal. on the .221 Fire Ball case. It is almost identical in capisity to the .256 Win. Mag. It was the rifle that my wife would always grab when see saw a groundhog, and NONE ever got away from her. My load was, and still is, a 75 gn. Serria HP with 15.5 gn. of H-4227 (which is what the book calls max. load for IMR-4427). Book says this load is 2,500 fps. from a 24 in. barrel. It put a pretty big hole through a groundhog.
