I do know that I can't outshoot the round. If I can hit a paper plate at 300 yards offhand, I'm happy and with that round I can all day long - or at least the first 20 rounds then I've got to clean it and let it cool down. wirecutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525620516837946733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-14315176128459301852013-02-19T22:39:36.869-06:002013-02-19T22:39:36.869-06:00One of these days I'll have to come up your wa...One of these days I'll have to come up your way and maybe we can bag one.<br />As far as the 22-250, there was a guy shooting those the last time I went up to the rifle range with my son. It was pretty windy that day, and I was having trouble getting 2" groups at 100 yards, and he was getting 1/2" groups at 200 yards.<br />And he was complaining about it!<br />He said he hand loads, and at 200 yards he can easily get 1/4" groups, and if it's really calm and he's shooting from a lead-sled like I use, he can get 90% of his shots "through the same hole".<br />From what I read after talking to him, it's a really accurate round. VERY fast and flat shooting!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-14316916732686463112013-02-19T20:20:10.551-06:002013-02-19T20:20:10.551-06:00Jim - look at their tails - they carry them down, ...Jim - look at their tails - they carry them down, even at a run. They also tend to be real nervous, always looking around and behind them.<br />But when I'm hunting, I always check that tail. If it's out or up, it's probably a dog. If it's down, it's likely a coyote.wirecutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525620516837946733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-21000434542474844472013-02-19T19:00:11.036-06:002013-02-19T19:00:11.036-06:00This is the first time I ever noticed how narrow t...This is the first time I ever noticed how narrow their snout is.<br />Probably be a good way for a city boy like me to spot one....if I ever get close enough!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-58311918537218728382013-02-19T13:59:17.915-06:002013-02-19T13:59:17.915-06:00Ever read any of S.M.

No need for a fast follow up if you choose your shot wisely and know how to shoot. The AR platform is pretty damned popular though. Also a 12 gauge is used in thick brush.wirecutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525620516837946733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-48026038610500211652013-02-19T08:45:54.910-06:002013-02-19T08:45:54.910-06:00'Cutter,

I'm asking mostly to satisfy my nerdy curiosity. I'd think semi-auto for fast follow-up would be wise and chambering up to .243 Win? I could see using an AR in the standard .223 or 5.56 NATO.
