Your a genius Who Tee Who. No one else has done it like this. New caliber every day drop tests. You are providing valuable information to a lot of people. Priceless info really. And not just talking about it or quoting ballistics charts but SHOWING it. Hope you hit every caliber you can. And thanks a million!👍👍
.22-250 is far & away my favorite caliber. I shoot Hornady Superformance 50 grain with my 1:12 twist. Accurate past 700 yards. Just zero at 250, add distance, enjoy! LOVE your videos. I appreciate all of your hard work. Take care🙏
I love my Remington 700 in 22-250 with a big heavy bull barrel and upgraded trigger. Got it sighted in at 150 (typical groundhog range on the farm) with some Winchester whitebox 45gr and it will put them in the same hole out to 200 no problem. Even out to 300 it is still a hide or hair hold on a groundhog, fox, or coyote and boy does it leave them dead on impact
I have a Remington 700 ADL in .22-250 Rem and have shot it out to 600 yards in competition and did fantastic with it up to 500 yards with the Game King projectiles. Lots of fun to shoot with !!
I site in everything at 100 or 200 yards except. 22-250's. My very favorite caliber gets zeroed at 250 yards using Hornady 50 grains at 4000 fps & a 1:12 twist. Great past 600 yards! Keep up the great work!👍
This was my go to round for prairie dogs in Texas as well... Until i discovered 17HMR. I shoot .17g Hornandy VMax and have been doing head shots on prairie dogs, and a few coyotes, out to 150 yards with pin point accuracy. Less recoil and cheaper rounds. I still take my 22-250 and .243 with me for shits and giggles but it's so much fun shooting the .17.
Mine is bolt action with a beechwood stock that has like a form fitted grip area with a 2 1/2" hole for your right hand just behind the trigger, a giant Leopold scope, and an amazing bipod.
Leopold is a reliable optic. Its on my remmington pump action 30 ought 6. My dad and grandpa (RIP) bought 4 in the early 90s. All the same set up. That gun means the most to me.
I think that was the first time I seen that rifle not really like an ammo. I figured it was gona put a 1-2” group at 200. That thing is a lazer beam. Love it. Great vid. Just goes to show you are human and not a top secret sniper droid.
@peterluttgens3364 Do Aussies shoot the 22-250 "Down Under?" If so is it a popular caliber or do Aussies even have a predominant caliber for shooting pests/varmints?
When I make my wall charts I don't list "Bullet Drop". I list "Hold Up". To me it's much more real world...but that's just me. We appreciate ALL that you do Hero. 👍
I was spotting for a buddy of mine on a groundhog hunt and watched him fwop a very small groundhog at 476 yards (we used a laser rangefinder) with a 3-5 mph crosswind. The rifle was a Remington 700 chambered in 22-250 and was an exceptional shooter. The pig was aft-end-on to us and that bullet went right up Main Street. Beautiful shooting gun, quite the little murder hornet.
I love mine, she's an old H&R handi single shot hammer dropper and boy is she accurate too! I find the 50gr gets me out further flatter and great groups...
My .22-250 loaded with 53gr SMK's only drops 1 inch at 200 yards, surprised to see your results. Also shoots 1 hole groups at 200, I can send you a picture if you want proof ;) Loved the videos as always!
Another super video! I spend a lot of time in TN with buds shooting and have them come to AZ. Many of the TN boys have never shot over 300 yards. 22-250 shows its stuff at extended ranges. We coyote hunt at 500 with 22-250 and 204 routeenly . Keep them coming always fun to watch your honest approach.
I have a box of 22-250 64 grain winchesters made for deer hunting. I honestly believe it will be like lighting hit the deer if I take it this year. I love my 22-250. Super loud and super amazing how fast it hits the target at 100+ yards. A 220 swift makes for a good time but a 22-250 is a great time!
hey buddy..100 yds??? bullet hits for sound is heard. u touch the trigger??? hundredth of a second bullets at 100 yards!! I learned in bullet reloading that fps conversion to MPH?? simple.. devide fps by 1.42== mph... speed of sound is roughly 750 mph.. equals 1120 fps.. so a 22-250 rd at 3700 fps??? equals around 2500 MPH!!! dwell on that for speed 😮
I like the 55grainers in the 22/250 you can hear the whop when the bullet hits , what barrel twist are you running for the heavier bullets , the old 220 swift likes the slightly heavier bullet
Unless my memory fails me, my heavy barrelled Remington 700 with hand loads would shoot an inch low at 50 metres, inch high at 100 metres and spot on at 200 metres and shoot 1/4 MOA at 200 metres. 55grn nosler boat tails, loaded for bear with the bullet touching the lands.
Good vid, at the end of the day it all depends on the ammo . A quick light projectile will shoot flat to 200-300 yards rhen drop off like a stone, and a heavy high BC projectile will drop a little more at 2-300 then be way better Than the light projectile further down the track. Also 3450 is pretty slow for a 60gr, I had my .223 shooting a 60gr at 3250, load data says 3600 is possible for a 22-250
Can you do a bullet drop video on the 450 Bushmaster 250 grain Hornady which is the most common round available?? The only reason I’m asking is most Midwest states (traditionally known as shotgun only states) have now allowed straight walled cartridges of which the 450 is one of the favorites. Please and thanks.
I will say with my 22-250 in a adl Remington 700. I’m shooting 40gr. V max and 50gr superformence at 350 yards and can hit a license plate all day if you at just aim the top of it. But I’ve never shot anything Over 60gr. Good shooting tho bud!!!!
I am a huge fan of the .22-250 with years of experience using them. I own 2, one an "out of the box" Rem 700V, topped with a Leupold fixed 10X. With Rem factory loads does 1/2" @ 100 yards 5 shot groups dependably all day. The other is a 1960 technology Bench Rifle built from a Mauser action, Wood Bench stock floated, and pillar bedded (by me), Hart Barrel, Canjar 2oz. trigger ( for field use UNSAFE until over 4oz trigger setting, I set to 6oz for safety but still only load a round when ready to fire) topped with a Lyman Super Target Spot with the 45X conversion from 15X originally. This rifle does that 1/2" 5 shot group at 200 yds, and has on a good day done groups of 3/8" @ 200 with my handloads. No sir, you will find that .22-250 should be running 3600 - 3650 fps velocity. < this in the day was a factory loading and was normal. Refering to this video my experience shows about 1" drop at 200 yards, and 1" high at 100 if zeroed at 200 yards. I watch these videos of happy shooters with a POS rifle I would not keep if I had ANY groups larger than 1" at 100 yards. Frankly I find the accuracy of these modern rifles and budget rifles appalling ! I have only ever own 1 rifle that did not meet my 1" spec @ 100 yds in my entire 60 year life. That a Ruger #1 in .25-06. A TRUE piece of garbage, it would never shoot 1 1/4", and each time going back to the range the POI had changed and the scope needed re-zero'd. I sold that garbage for only $400 to get it out of my mind, I tried very extensive work on the cases to make PERFECT max'd out cases to load and never could get even a lousy 1" group @ 100 yds. Inside / outside case neck truing, primer pocket work, even confirmed the case volume was selected to be equal in all cases for testing. That Ruger #1 was the most aggravating rifle I ever owned. I do see you other video of better groups from the 250. In general you will learn when searching for rifle accuracy as close to MAX loads as is safe is where you find the best accuracy. That in general is across the board of all calibers. Run them as hot as is safe. BUT FIRST you must have or fix a capable rifle. For Varmint hunting that .22-250 is among the best choice you can have. Long reach. My best shot of record (witnessed also) was just beyond 600 yds on a Coyote with a strip mine wall background for safety. Believe it or not the 250 hit that Coyote like a Deer Rifle. A solid hit dead center chest head on. The coyote flew in the air, 3 summer salts backward. When I drove down there the bullet had run the entire length of the body and out the rear. My handload *55*(edited) grain Sierra Match King bullet IMR 4895 powder @ 3600fps. < you can figure it out : ) I could tell of many advances I learned with the 250 and ONE MAJOR technical advancement that was remarkable and also lower chamber pressure. A clue ..... the 250 likes the bullet to jump. hehehe only a few know what I mean : ) * Edit: Sorry my mistake .... the Mauser Bench Rifle likes *53 gr MATCH KING, the Rem 700V likes 55 grain Sierra GameKing. And Yes, I share something useful you may be glad to know. I also zero at 100 yds as YOU say. I take a piece of card material and write down amount of drop in inches and clicks on the scope needed for each later 100 yds. Wrap it around the scope tube, cover it with clear tape to preserve. A ready reference ! I do this on ALL my rifles. I do NOT do "Kentucky Windage". I move the scope for different ranges and do NOT change my hold over or under EVER. * I will ONLY take a shot to a maximum distance I KNOW my rifle is capable of 3" groups. If not 3" I do not feel it is ethical when not only shooting on paper. You have some cool ideas, ACTUAL experience is always the best Sir as you show. I add also, I was a 1000 yard Match Shooter for 17 years or so. 1998 had a max'd out AR built for the National Matches 1000 yd.. $2300.00 in parts cost alone rifle ONLY. The .22 caliber bullet just does not buck the wind as the 30 caliber does better. My very expensive .22 rifle was a wasted idea. Back to the accurized "de'milled" M14. De- milled used to mean that the full auto capability was de activated permanently. Though I began with the M1 Garand .30-06. Funny the "Wisemen" say the .308 is the "ballistic equivalent" of the .30-06. Hahaha .30-06 drops 11 feet @ 1000yd while the "equivalent" .308 drops 33 feet ! (that with issued ammo for the match) ACTUAL EXPERIENCE Sir, always best : )
More fun and informative videos by the man WHO TEE WHO. This series is a good thing for us all to see. Good videos to learn different calibers and how they shoot. Thanks again WTW, good shooting and gods speed to you and your family. 👍🇺🇸may be a few days before I get to watch your videos. But I’ll get caught up ASAP. 🙏🏻
Great video sir. I have only been in the gun hobby for a short time, and I'm learning all that I possibly can. My favorite aspects are long range and extremely long range shooting, equipment needed and all the math and calcs that goes along with accuracy. I just recently heard about and began studying the .22-250 round, and I am absolutely fascinated by the capabilities of it. Your video was the first that popped into my search. Thank you so much for being my first intro into my studies. I hope to learn much more as weeks progress. Thanks.
Really like the drop test videos 👍👍. What's on the box doesn't always carry over to the real world. Most info on the box comes from a 24" barrel, all mine except one that is 20" are 22".
Interesting, I just bought a 22-250 while up in Alaska. I haven't shot it yet, the scope mounts haven't come in yet. It's a NF of Belgin made in 1948. I'm anxious to see it preform. After seeing your video it tells me it's not quite as flat shooting as you think. Thanks again for the video
BC. is a guide. Bullet length and bullet weight is a factor. Barrel length and twist rate is a factor. Quality of the casings and repeatable powder grains is a factor. Elevation is a factor. Temperature is a factor. Wind is a factor. Humidity is a factor. Earth rotation is a factor. But then there is gravity. The ultimate factor. I like your videos. Keep up the good work. It is informational.
The box said "Interlock" which would make it a Hornady bullet. They list the BC of .264 which would make your trajectory flatter. Good luck on all your hunts. I am hoping to go next week during "primitive" season, been doing prep for a couple of months. If you have coyotes where you hunt it's like the old cigarette saying, "Smoke 'em if you got 'em." Same for hogs.
I hand load with some controlled expansion 55 grain bullets for my REM 788. Its sighted in 1” high at 100 yards and It drops around 5 1/2” at 300. I know…..I know…..a 788 is about as sexy as an Edsel but she’s as dependable as the sunrise and shoots like a laser :) Oh….and the rifle in this video is a good looking pill shooter too!
I would like to see. 556-223 and 6.5CM. If you haven’t already. I can’t remember all the calibers you have already done. And I would really like to see the 50cal.
These are seriously my favorite videos to watch as soon as they get posted on YT. Other than clothing do you have any other way to support your channel? I don’t think I’ve ever heard you talk about it on any videos.
I purposely do not beg for money or try to sell you things like most other channels do. When I hear that I change the channel 🤣. I do have the Patreon thing but I never promote it
@@WHOTEEWHO well it’s not much, but I just made an account and became a supporter on Patreon! Anything to help keep you doing what you’re doing! Thanks for all your fun and informational videos!
I can honestly say that I was not surprised by the 50 yard shot. It did drop a bit more at 200 than I thought it would. Different loads and bullet weights would probably give different results.
Different loads and/or weights would give much different results, for sure. More shooting and trigger time would also help. If he spent some time behind that thing, theres no reason he shouldnt be able to shoot a tighter group out at 200.
Mr. Who-Tee-Who, that 22-250 is 1 heck of Deer killing cartridge out to 200yds. maybe even beyond, I prefer to use it out to 200yds. I call mine the 1-stepper. Meaning after a Deer is hit with that caliber it takes 1 step and drops, I have never had to trail a deer after being hit with that caliber. Liked that caliber immensely, Killed a good number of Deer with it, and several boat loads of woodchucks, prairie dogs & numerous other rodent animals. Had to re-barrel 1 of my 22-250's. Shot the barrel out of it, couldn't hold a group anymore with it, after re-barreling it back to .5" - 5 shot groups and smaller if I could hold it steady off of a bench. The p-dogs were shot in South Dakota.
I just got into the 22-250 caliber with a ruger american predator topped with a Leopold freedom vx 4-12×50 i use Hornaday varmint express 55gr v-max and it is my go to for coyote hunting. Thanks for another great video.
We where shooting 22-250s just yesterday. At 400 yards.68 grain Sierra matchking. Spain made Begara 1in 9 twist.Anyways holding 8 mills high was a hit every time on a 10 in plate.
Back when I reloaded I loaded my 250 with a 40 grain Sierra hp with 41 grains of H414. Pushed the bullet about 4000 FPS. Every 250 I ever owned seemed to like that load and it was a flat shooter great for yotes. Tore up Fox pretty bad though.
.22-250's are flat-shooting lasers. Most are either 1:12 or 1:9 rifling. (Both are great, just for different purposes) Perhaps a GREAT test would be: Using 2 identical rifles, except for their rifling, shoot what they like, (50 grain in the 1:12 & 55 grain in the 1:9), but then SWAP the ammos & document the differences in accuracy! I think that would be an ultimate test of our beloved caliber. Thanks for ALL of your efforts & the expenses you incur!
Traded inmy 22-250 for a howa 6.5 creedmoor shb in oryx chassis and will use .243 to shoot 55gr and 95gr, 55 for varmints out at distsnce 6.5cm for anything bigger than what the 95gr can handle. Was an axis that i traded in so was happy to upgrade that rifle always thought it would be to another 22-250 though but no. Thought id jump on the 6.5 band wagon.
I see you are messing with me, saving the best for last! 🤣🤣🤣 . Using 60 grain instead of 55, which is most common ☹️. Love the video! Try it with a 17hmr! Those are good out to approximately 250 for prairie dogs, squirrels and rabbits.
Love the bullet drop videos. I have noticed though on the bullet drop paper all of your scope height settings are at 1.5 inches. Just wondering if that makes alot of difference on the actual amount of bullet drop.
Very good! Yes, that is called barrel parallax....draw a line thru the scope and thru the barrel, now point the rifle up 1.5 inches at 100 yards...the line from the scope will cut the barrel line twice!...ignor that and zero at 200 yards! I zero at 300....just because I know I will hit 3 inches high under 200 yards...
It's a great round, but not the straight line laser people make it out to be. Any varmint round doing the 3500 fps at varmint ranges is only governed by wind drift and terminal energy. Drops are pretty much the same at hunting ranges. Good vid.👍
I can tell that rifle doesn’t like that aguila ammo very much. With that rifle, you should be punching same hole at 100 and at 200 get a group the size of a dime or smaller. My preference is the hornady V-Max 50grain. 4000fps and shoots extremely flat out to 300yds on a calm day. But if it’s windy I’ll got with a 55-60 grain Remington JSP.
22-250 only has 11 inch drop at 400yds when zeroed for point blank range with a 4 inch target shooting 40 or 50gr bullets. Which means I can hold dead on to around 325 and only be either 2 inches high or 2 inches low and then at 350 and 400 I can hold right on or above the coyotes back and nail him. Point blank range zero can drastically reduce drop by shifting the trajectory up in relation to the sight
My theory is those cheap 60 grains are slow enough that they performed more like a 223, the hornady 55 grain go 3,680 fps I would like to see those or the 50 grain supposedly going 4,000 fps they claim to not drop much until 250 yards, I'd like to see this done with different ammo but I sighted mine in at 50 yards yesterday so I'll have to see my own results at 100 and 200, might make a few adjustments and sight in at 100

@@thelittledetailscr7231 lol. Perfect reason to go get more calibers!
I agree I love it thanks wtw
@@WHOTEEWHO Lets see some 45-70, 44mag bullet drop from a rifle and maybe just for kicks a 30-30 even though were not allowed to use that cal in Ohio
🦉- Tee have you ever tried the Nosler 60gr. in your 22-250 on whitetail deer? Works very well.
One of the oldest, best and most lethal rounds
We need .308 and 30-06 bullet drops videos. Good work sir.

Really diggin these trajectory videos keep shooting straight … thanks 🙏

25-06 next but with a 100 grain bullet. Maybe do the 22-250 again with a 50 grain bullet. Out to 300 yards velocity is king. 😀
Enjoyed the video as always really like the nightly ones Getting to see the different calipers in the bullet drops Keep up the good work Adam
Appreciate you watching Merlin
@@WHOTEEWHO You are welcome But I have to thank you also Your videos are enjoyable to watch and educational 2
I zero my 22-250 at 200. That’s about a inch high at 100 and about five inches low at 300 depending on load and bullet.
Me too 200 yard zero hold center mass 50 to 300 it will smash coyotes at 300 hold bread basket and send itn
Correct
Cool, this was my go to round for Coyotes and prairie doggys in the old days in Texas. Now I've got bothersome coyote in Kentucky

Some of the 53’s have a higher BC and they are also moving faster which is why the drop less.

I watch these videos of happy shooters with a POS rifle I would not keep if I had ANY groups larger than 1" at 100 yards. Frankly I find the accuracy of these modern rifles and budget rifles appalling ! I have only ever own 1 rifle that did not meet my 1" spec @ 100 yds in my entire 60 year life. That a Ruger #1 in .25-06. A TRUE piece of garbage, it would never shoot 1 1/4", and each time going back to the range the POI had changed and the scope needed re-zero'd. I sold that garbage for only $400 to get it out of my mind, I tried very extensive work on the cases to make PERFECT max'd out cases to load and never could get even a lousy 1" group @ 100 yds. Inside / outside case neck truing, primer pocket work, even confirmed the case volume was selected to be equal in all cases for testing. That Ruger #1 was the most aggravating rifle I ever owned.
I do see you other video of better groups from the 250. In general you will learn when searching for rifle accuracy as close to MAX loads as is safe is where you find the best accuracy. That in general is across the board of all calibers. Run them as hot as is safe. BUT FIRST you must have or fix a capable rifle.
For Varmint hunting that .22-250 is among the best choice you can have. Long reach. My best shot of record (witnessed also) was just beyond 600 yds on a Coyote with a strip mine wall background for safety. Believe it or not the 250 hit that Coyote like a Deer Rifle. A solid hit dead center chest head on. The coyote flew in the air, 3 summer salts backward. When I drove down there the bullet had run the entire length of the body and out the rear. My handload *55*(edited) grain Sierra Match King bullet IMR 4895 powder @ 3600fps. < you can figure it out : )
I could tell of many advances I learned with the 250 and ONE MAJOR technical advancement that was remarkable and also lower chamber pressure. A clue ..... the 250 likes the bullet to jump. hehehe only a few know what I mean : )
* Edit: Sorry my mistake .... the Mauser Bench Rifle likes *53 gr MATCH KING, the Rem 700V likes 55 grain Sierra GameKing. And Yes, I share something useful you may be glad to know. I also zero at 100 yds as YOU say. I take a piece of card material and write down amount of drop in inches and clicks on the scope needed for each later 100 yds. Wrap it around the scope tube, cover it with clear tape to preserve. A ready reference !
I do this on ALL my rifles. I do NOT do "Kentucky Windage". I move the scope for different ranges and do NOT change my hold over or under EVER.
* I will ONLY take a shot to a maximum distance I KNOW my rifle is capable of 3" groups. If not 3" I do not feel it is ethical when not only shooting on paper.
You have some cool ideas, ACTUAL experience is always the best Sir as you show.
I add also, I was a 1000 yard Match Shooter for 17 years or so. 1998 had a max'd out AR built for the National Matches 1000 yd.. $2300.00 in parts cost alone rifle ONLY. The .22 caliber bullet just does not buck the wind as the 30 caliber does better. My very expensive .22 rifle was a wasted idea. Back to the accurized "de'milled" M14. De- milled used to mean that the full auto capability was de activated permanently. Though I began with the M1 Garand .30-06. Funny the "Wisemen" say the .308 is the "ballistic equivalent" of the .30-06. Hahaha .30-06 drops 11 feet @ 1000yd while the "equivalent" .308 drops 33 feet !
(that with issued ammo for the match)
ACTUAL EXPERIENCE Sir, always best : )
The fly at two hundred. Priceless
More fun and informative videos by the man WHO TEE WHO. This series is a good thing for us all to see. Good videos to learn different calibers and how they shoot. Thanks again WTW, good shooting and gods speed to you and your family. 👍🇺🇸may be a few days before I get to watch your videos. But I’ll get caught up ASAP. 🙏🏻
Why would you zero a 22-250 at 100 yds? If you zero it at 200, you can hit that little circle at any range between 50 and 200+ yards.
Dial up
I zero .22-250's at 200. That way I'm good from 100 - 300 without any worries at all. At 4000 fps it doesn't have time to drop!😄
Let’s gooooo!
Heyo
Great video sir. I have only been in the gun hobby for a short time, and I'm learning all that I possibly can. My favorite aspects are long range and extremely long range shooting, equipment needed and all the math and calcs that goes along with accuracy. I just recently heard about and began studying the .22-250 round, and I am absolutely fascinated by the capabilities of it. Your video was the first that popped into my search. Thank you so much for being my first intro into my studies. I hope to learn much more as weeks progress. Thanks.
LOL, my favorite gun is whichever one I pull out of the safe on any given day.
Hey who tee who that was nice bullet drop
I’m doin good how about you
Love these videos! I’ve got a savage 22-250, absolutely love that gun, it’s easy to hold over and hit 500 🇺🇸
Another awesome video as always! I am really grateful to you for doing this type of stuff. You do the work so I don't have too...lol. Thanks WTW!
Always appreciate you watching Bob
My favorite caliber and my favorite UA-camr!
Appreciate you watching Alex 🙏
.308 bullet drop WTW. I’m thinking about purchasing one. Love these videos
Coming soon
Really like the drop test videos 👍👍. What's on the box doesn't always carry over to the real world. Most info on the box comes from a 24" barrel, all mine except one that is 20" are 22".
Appreciate you watching Lance
Interesting, I just bought a 22-250 while up in Alaska. I haven't shot it yet, the scope mounts haven't come in yet.
It's a NF of Belgin made in 1948.
I'm anxious to see it preform. After seeing your video it tells me it's not quite as flat shooting as you think.
Thanks again for the video
BC. is a guide. Bullet length and bullet weight is a factor. Barrel length and twist rate is a factor. Quality of the casings and repeatable powder grains is a factor. Elevation is a factor. Temperature is a factor. Wind is a factor. Humidity is a factor. Earth rotation is a factor. But then there is gravity. The ultimate factor. I like your videos. Keep up the good work. It is informational.
The box said "Interlock" which would make it a Hornady bullet. They list the BC of .264 which would make your trajectory flatter. Good luck on all your hunts. I am hoping to go next week during "primitive" season, been doing prep for a couple of months.
If you have coyotes where you hunt it's like the old cigarette saying, "Smoke 'em if you got 'em." Same for hogs.
I hand load with some controlled expansion 55 grain bullets for my REM 788. Its sighted in 1” high at 100 yards and It drops around 5 1/2” at 300. I know…..I know…..a 788 is about as sexy as an Edsel but she’s as dependable as the sunrise and shoots like a laser :) Oh….and the rifle in this video is a good looking pill shooter too!
Sighted at 225 yards, the 22-250 will hit 300 with minimal drop and no corrections needed in between.
Yep
Buddy had a Sako. Super fast.🐰
Very nice
One of the CVAs made the 200 yard line - cool! Love my 22-250 as well.. shooting 77gr Noslers handloads at 3147fps..
Dog crap!! 40 grain = 1 mile /second...you will get 1/3 sub MOA!! The faster the bullet the more accurate
Try the 53 gr. Hornady rounds less then 2" at 200 yards
I would like to see. 556-223 and 6.5CM. If you haven’t already. I can’t remember all the calibers you have already done. And I would really like to see the 50cal.
Coming soon
I love 22-250!
A lot of us older guys here in Pa (like me) love the 22 Hornet. THAT would be a really fun video. Lol
Shout to a fellow Pennsylvanian! And the .22 hornet.👍👍
These are seriously my favorite videos to watch as soon as they get posted on YT. Other than clothing do you have any other way to support your channel? I don’t think I’ve ever heard you talk about it on any videos.
I purposely do not beg for money or try to sell you things like most other channels do. When I hear that I change the channel 🤣. I do have the Patreon thing but I never promote it
@@WHOTEEWHO well it’s not much, but I just made an account and became a supporter on Patreon! Anything to help keep you doing what you’re doing! Thanks for all your fun and informational videos!
@@MotivatedPiller thanks so much. Just saw that and sent you a message there. Thanks so much, that means a lot
I can honestly say that I was not surprised by the 50 yard shot. It did drop a bit more at 200 than I thought it would. Different loads and bullet weights would probably give different results.
Different loads and/or weights would give much different results, for sure. More shooting and trigger time would also help. If he spent some time behind that thing, theres no reason he shouldnt be able to shoot a tighter group out at 200.
Mr. Who-Tee-Who, that 22-250 is 1 heck of Deer killing cartridge out to 200yds. maybe even beyond, I prefer to use it out to 200yds. I call mine the 1-stepper. Meaning after a Deer is hit with that caliber it takes 1 step and drops, I have never had to trail a deer after being hit with that caliber. Liked that caliber immensely, Killed a good number of Deer with it, and several boat loads of woodchucks, prairie dogs & numerous other rodent animals. Had to re-barrel 1 of my 22-250's. Shot the barrel out of it, couldn't hold a group anymore with it, after re-barreling it back to .5" - 5 shot groups and smaller if I could hold it steady off of a bench. The p-dogs were shot in South Dakota.
I just got into the 22-250 caliber with a ruger american predator topped with a Leopold freedom vx 4-12×50 i use Hornaday varmint express 55gr v-max and it is my go to for coyote hunting. Thanks for another great video.
We where shooting 22-250s just yesterday. At 400 yards.68 grain Sierra matchking. Spain made Begara 1in 9 twist.Anyways holding 8 mills high was a hit every time on a 10 in plate.
22-250's are magical creatures
I love this round.
Me too
Back when I reloaded I loaded my 250 with a 40 grain Sierra hp with 41 grains of H414. Pushed the bullet about 4000 FPS. Every 250 I ever owned seemed to like that load and it was a flat shooter great for yotes. Tore up Fox pretty bad though.
Thank you very much for another informative video,I'm liking the 22-250,though I'm not sure what scope to use for ranges out to 400 yards .
Thanks for watching Chris
Sako 75 22-250 AI with 26” heavy barrel 1-12 twist 60gr Hornady @ 3650 fps. Great rifle
my Ruger hawkeye .22-250 is zeroed at 200 yards...and is an inch low at 788 yards using a six hundred power scope and titanium boolites.
You know WTW has a 1 shot 1 kill skill set.. he is a master of his tools.
True story. 🤣 I reloaded on a monster deer this week......but did not fire the 2nd shot. Cannot get far without a heart
@@WHOTEEWHOnice!! left him dead in his tracks.. we gotta stock our freezer full of meat for the winter months.
your welcome for me constantly asking you to try the 22-250 its my favorite rifle
Great vid!!! I think it’s time for some magnum drop test!!
I agree
.22-250's are flat-shooting lasers. Most are either 1:12 or 1:9 rifling. (Both are great, just for different purposes) Perhaps a GREAT test would be: Using 2 identical rifles, except for their rifling, shoot what they like, (50 grain in the 1:12 & 55 grain in the 1:9), but then SWAP the ammos & document the differences in accuracy! I think that would be an ultimate test of our beloved caliber. Thanks for ALL of your efforts & the expenses you incur!
55 in 1:9? You want faster for heavier bullets.
Awesome video..I was surprised
I used to have one in a 788 Remington. I would like to see a 6.8 spc
That is a good looking tool right there
Thanks for the video. I only have 223/556 and 308 so I like seeing all the different rounds. But I would like to see a 12 gauge slug. If you could.
Always appreciate you watching dragonrider
Should do the 30-06, do like these videos they are and explained better than others that I've watched keep up the awesome job
Already filmed it. Video out soon
@@WHOTEEWHO awesome you're a great person
Really appreciate you watching
Just got me a 22-250 rifle. Have it sighted in and ready for some Yotes.
Traded inmy 22-250 for a howa 6.5 creedmoor shb in oryx chassis and will use .243 to shoot 55gr and 95gr, 55 for varmints out at distsnce 6.5cm for anything bigger than what the 95gr can handle. Was an axis that i traded in so was happy to upgrade that rifle always thought it would be to another 22-250 though but no. Thought id jump on the 6.5 band wagon.
thanks for these videos!
Thanks for watching Chris
@@WHOTEEWHO God bless. Love you!
Awesome stuff!😀
Thanks for watching Nathan
I personally like the hornady 55gr sst.
I see you are messing with me, saving the best for last! 🤣🤣🤣 . Using 60 grain instead of 55, which is most common ☹️. Love the video! Try it with a 17hmr! Those are good out to approximately 250 for prairie dogs, squirrels and rabbits.
I ain't gonna lie. Every time one of your videos pop up on my recommendations, I yell aloud WHOOOOOOTEEEEEWHOOO!!!!
Keep the fun vods coming WTW
Love the bullet drop videos. I have noticed though on the bullet drop paper all of your scope height settings are at 1.5 inches. Just wondering if that makes alot of difference on the actual amount of bullet drop.
It does make a difference. Pretty standard, close to what most people have
Very good! Yes, that is called barrel parallax....draw a line thru the scope and thru the barrel, now point the rifle up 1.5 inches at 100 yards...the line from the scope will cut the barrel line twice!...ignor that and zero at 200 yards! I zero at 300....just because I know I will hit 3 inches high under 200 yards...
It's a great round, but not the straight line laser people make it out to be.
Any varmint round doing the 3500 fps at varmint ranges is only governed by wind drift and terminal energy.
Drops are pretty much the same at hunting ranges.
Good vid.👍
I can tell that rifle doesn’t like that aguila ammo very much. With that rifle, you should be punching same hole at 100 and at 200 get a group the size of a dime or smaller. My preference is the hornady V-Max 50grain. 4000fps and shoots extremely flat out to 300yds on a calm day. But if it’s windy I’ll got with a 55-60 grain Remington JSP.
I have ammo that puts them in the same hole. But I am saving those
I truly enjoy all your videos you're awesome brother
appreciate you watching
22-250 only has 11 inch drop at 400yds when zeroed for point blank range with a 4 inch target shooting 40 or 50gr bullets. Which means I can hold dead on to around 325 and only be either 2 inches high or 2 inches low and then at 350 and 400 I can hold right on or above the coyotes back and nail him. Point blank range zero can drastically reduce drop by shifting the trajectory up in relation to the sight
Hey who tee who you got a good gun for varmits and deer
My theory is those cheap 60 grains are slow enough that they performed more like a 223, the hornady 55 grain go 3,680 fps I would like to see those or the 50 grain supposedly going 4,000 fps they claim to not drop much until 250 yards, I'd like to see this done with different ammo but I sighted mine in at 50 yards yesterday so I'll have to see my own results at 100 and 200, might make a few adjustments and sight in at 100
On the box speed isn’t realistic
Good video mate I to zero mine a inch high at 100 yds and hold over at about 7 inches at 280 to 300 yds it will alternate with home loads,,,
I realy did shoot a springbok in south africa with a 22 250 at 550m and i held over 20 inches
I love the 22 250
Great video just bought the cva cascade short in 6.5 cm like this little rifle alot.
Love the cascade short
Now we need Red Ryder BB gun drop at 200 yards.
😳😳😳
