[Brant Buster]

with your punie little .22-250, concentrate on developing loads for YOUR guns or 'barrel' that call for bullets 60 grains and heavier!

Two bullets I'd start with are the Nosler Partition 60grainer, and the Speer Semi-Spiter that weighs 70 grains.

I have to admit I've never had the opportunity to shoot the Nosler 60-Partition in any kind of .224 caliber, but the "partition design" married with the heavier weight (of .224 bullets) is for only one thing - humanely killing deer-size critters!

I've had excellent results from Nosler bullets and would expect the same with this one.

The Speer 70grainer is often overlooked, but it was developed for use in the .22-250 and .220 Swift - for shooting and killing deer! Speer used to state this point when listing this particualr bullet. I would trust this projectile out to 200 yards, easily/

And this one I have used, in a .223R. Bullet was a pass-through so I never found it afterward, but it left a tennis ball size hole under the hide after going through at least 14-16 inches of mule deer doe. Range was @125 yards.

Of course there are other 60-plus grain bullets too.

Barnes (I believe) makes a Triple Shock is this 'class,' and Winchester used to make a 64grainer.

The Sierra 63 grain Semi-Spitzer is a lightly constructed, thin jacketed bullet - so don't use it! I also killed a small mulie buck with that slug and was VERY LUCKY it worked out. Penetration was lousy and it was a spinal shot that put the forked-horn down. This bullet fragmented badly and didn't even make it into the chest cavity.

Good luck!
