Ballistic Hamster Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi Everyone , Which would you choose ; .22-250 A/I shooting a 75 amax OR .20 B/R shooting a 40 vmax / 50 berger, Not bothered about case prep yet ,l know both need prep , The application is for up to 500yds MAX !!! For Vermin / fox. Was Thinking light and quick to shoot , flat shooting and bucking the wind well. zeroed at 150yds. Have looked on QuickLoad seen that Data , need real world Data. Comments please, anyone who shoots these calibers would help share there results . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 22 BRX/dasher But out of the two I would take the 20 BR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tackb Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 22-250 is loud and obtuse for what you get in my opinion having had a couple but I did consider the fast twist 75g Amax build but decided against it in the end . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballistic Hamster Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks for feed back so far, Who else out there has either caliber .22-250 or .20 . Results please or oppions , thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 For what it's worth I have a savage lrpv in 22-250 currently shooting a 53g vmax at around 3900fps and it's devastating out to 500yrds , incredibly accurate and certainly good fox medicine , got to be 1 in 12 twist though . if you want to try the 75 amax the 22-243 middlestead takes some beating as a launch vehicle , try 3750 fps it renders rabbits aerosol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratwhiskers Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 You've got the case's/heads (no further work required) and the experience, why not just run a lighter version of what you've got mate. It'll punch above the 20' and it's more efficient then the '250...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchking Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have owned a 20br and found it o.k nothing special,It doesn't do any thing a standard 22.250 or swift won't do.I have had a 14 twist 22.250 ai it was a superb round but won't do anything a swift won't do.I own a 8 twist 22.250 built by neil mckilop and i have to say it is superb thing,It hits like a sledge hammer shoots plenty flat enough out to 250 yards for laming foxes.And it bucks the wind well enough to shoot out to distances i never thought possible with a 22 centerfire.You will not be dissapionted with a fast twist 22.250 Cheers sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Had a 22.250, admitted it was a factory varminter, accuracy was poor, it was a good killer but you never saw anything go down due to the recoil. These days I use a 20BR, killed foxes with it out to almost 300 yards, see every hit. So far I have missed 2 and killed 51 with it,most at 100/150 yards. So I have this tee shirt, go 20BR.

CZ Varminter Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm gonna jump in on this one! I have shot the BE before but not a lot so this will be slightly biase.22-250 is a super calibre and I use it on crows out to 650! Foxes will take down easily enough, I use this rifle lamping of sticks out to 200. Point and shoot! Easy. It's just a thing of practice...yeah marginally less recoil. But why not go for a standard 22-250 in as said a 1:12 or slightly faster on the 53gr Vmax I have heard very good things about this little bullet. You won't be dissapointed.
