22-250 at 1,000 yards!!! - CVA Cascade 

When in the Marine Corps, I met guys from the mid-west that shot prairie-dogs with .22-250 as fare as their high power scopes could see.

Something going that fast, and waiting that long for the ping, really gives you an appreciation for how far 1000 yards is

That was a interesting video and I actually thought that bullet would be a little too light to make the trip out to a thousand yards but it did it. I would say do not underestimate a 22-250 Good shooting.

Never shot long range before but it must be the best sound when you hear a Ding!!!!

I tipped up at Bisley in the early 90'swith a 1 in 12 308 enfield and 220 grain matchking handloads. Everyone said it wouldnt go to 1000 yards as the twist was too slow. With a great wind coach and peep sights I managed 98 out of 100 with 5 V bulls. The entire firing line had stopped and was watching me. They thought I had some wonder weapon. At the time 155 grain was just appearing.

70's 24" model 70 win 22-250 is only rifle I've hit gray diggers over 300yds. Cool morning vapor trails and pink misted varmits. Priceless!

I really appreciate your "let's find out" approach.

Absolutely. The internet is full of it. You just don't know till you try. Great video WTW 👍 thanks! That 22-250 is awesome!

As I got out the military I was extremely lucky to bring home a Sako Finnbear 22-250 handmade in Finland one of the most accurate rifles I own(b4 customizing shooting offhand 100 yds iron sights 3 shots covered by a dime)

The coach you got helping you is amazingly good at calling the shots. Great shooting Who_Tee !

It blew my mind when I learned about 22-250. 40-60 grains, just under 5.56, but an absolute ZIPPER of a round at damn near 4000 ft/sec.

Totally impressive! I would have lost all bets over 600 yards. Excellent shooting!

22-250 is no joke. It's a screaming round.

I used to shoot F-Class at the Boulder City range in Nevada using a Savage 22-250. No problems at all out to 650 yds with a 60 grain bullet.

Used an old Remington 788...so the cheap model....for my varmit gun. Chambered in 22-250 with a 6-18 power Redfield scope it was so very accurate On chucks at 250-350 yards...... I'm not suprised it could be pushed out longer

States that allow rifles for turkey hunting, the 22-250 is hands down the best rifle

It's a good feeling when you dial in the right combination of skill with technology... and ya hear that 'DING!"👍🏻

My brother used my 204 Ruger at 700 yards on a 1'x1' target. He was just holding over! Sweet video. Sweet rifle. It would be cool to see your 243 at this range!

I've shot that cartridge for 40 years varmiting and roll my own ammo for a Remington 700 BDL with a Canjar set trigger . I did a chamber cast right out of Remington's Ilion custom shop and all my reloads conform to that casting dimensions . I neck tuirn and fire form new brass then neck size with a slight shoulder bump and trim the inside of the primer lance hole . When I'm in ( er was ) in good shooting form it regularly hit chucks at 400 -+ measured yds. It shot best with 62 - 65 grain spire point BT and H380 . Not surprised a more modern rifle and scope can do better !

All you need is a 20moa scope rail mount. Long range is what they are made for. Shame the pros didn't tell you that.

🤔 he says ' at 700 yds... dink dink dink' !! But 1000 yds.. Let's give a shout out ta MISTER Who Tee Whooooooo 🇺🇸😎🚬 He done it ! Mark

Lived 50 miles south of Cleveland back in the 70's, had a 222 and my buddy had a 22-250, used to tear up woodchucks. Loved them.

I have always wanted to build a fast twist 22-250 throated for high BC projectiles or a 22 creedmoor. I just haven’t got around to ever doing it. To my knowledge i can’t recall anyone ever putting a factory fast twist 22-250 on the market. Probably because it would be a hand loaders only gun.

I knew you could do it.22-250 -is one of my favorite cartridges!

That was really interesting. I'd love to see other calibres running a similar routine... particularly a 30-06

Same Ammo I use in my 22-250. I have a TC Venture Predator with a 22” 1:12 twist also. Have no issues out to 1000 yards other than wind deflection. Good shooting my man

Gives me hope for my old 250. Thanks man! You keep making them, I'll keep watching them!

Im so glad you love the 22-250

I had a rem 700 sps varmint in 22-250 (now rebarelled in 6.5 creedmor) had to change the stock (rem stock was horrible) put an hs precision stock, a 20 moa base, a simple Redfield hunting scope. If I remember the Remington barrel was 1-14 twist. I was reloading for it, 55 gr vmax on target. That rifle liked a little hot ammo better. Man size steel at 1000 yard was not too bad as long as there was no wind (once I even could it my 10 " round steel target) but at that distance we can't really have "accurate" hit. To me, 600 yards is where this caliber shine the most. Easy to shoot, easy to reload for. After about 3500 res my barrel was toast and decided to have it converted to a 6.5 creedmor. I still miss that 22-250, it's a very good round.

What would have been neat is to see a couple of milk jugs out that far to see if it would have went into the second milk jug.

Used my 22-250 on long range rabbits on occasion...............needless to say when you hit them, there is nothing but steam left - it literally vaporises them. It is one super fast round !

Absolutely awesome! You did what was said to be impossible... That's some good shooting and excellent Kentucky windage!

Great ! I am a fan. I like your videos. I like the way you do it. I didn't have people telling me what I could and couldn't do. In the 80s and 90s I hit many coyotes and some jack rabbits at 800 yds. plus with both a Ruger No.1 and an Interarms Classic. Both 22-250 and usually with 55 gr. Hollow Point Boat Tail Bullets. ( There were places where we knew the range because of landmarks. ) We had no rangefinders or bullet drop compensator scopes. I had a standard 4 to 12 and 3 to 9 power scopes, 10 power binoculars and a 60 power spotter scope wich we seldom used. But the thing that we didn't have was the techno guys telling us how to do it. I also took 3 antelope at 1000 yards ( give or take 10 yards due to measuring in the desert ) and another which was not measured but was at least as long ( friends thought much longer ). I used a Parker Hale 7MM Rem Mag. with a 3 to 9 Weaver Scope and 139 grain bullets. These were actually hand loads which I worked out over a period of time. You can do it if you want to. Good luck. Mac

Now you see why I’ve been begging you to try the 22.250. Judging by the number of videos you’ve done on it, I’m guessing you are a huge fan now too! Great videos keep em coming. 👍👍👍

I'm glad you got the opportunity to do that. I don't have anywhere to do that locally. My best right now is 300 with a 7mm-08 8 inch target, hit it first pull! 1.5×9 Leopold/ 700 remington 20" barrel! Surprised myself!

A 22-250 is faster that a phone call. I traded for a CVA Cascade in 308 today. I love it. I put a Leupold 3-9X40 scope on it.

Yup gonna buy that same rifle. Straight up impressive. Great video!

God that must be nice shooting that far, living in NY I can’t find a range further than 300 yards. Loses the fun when ya hit 3 inch targets every time almost

Hey that looks like you had a great time at the range. The 22-250 is an awesome little cartridge. I have owned one for over 35 years. The best coyote and gopher cartridges. I do agree with the comment that it would be better with a 70 gr bullet for 1000 yards. But you did prove that it can do it with a 55gr.👍👍 If you put a 30 MOA rail on it you would get more elevation with out guessing hold over. Cheers

It would be cool to see your 243 a 1000 yds!

My hats 🧢 off to you Cuz. That was AMAZING and AWESOME JOB to your spotters calling your wind and shots. Great video Bro.

I was on the range in the sir force,, the Sgt come over in me about my form. I had already looked the the scope. Shooting peep sigjt. I said sir would you look thru the scope. He said all in the bull. He said how long you been shooting . I said since I was 8 yrs old. He said carry on Before we left asked me if I would like to be on the shooting team. For lackland. I talked to my TI and he said you will be their go fer until one of them dies or something. And likely stay here your whole hitch. I passed on the offer. Haha. Glad I did.

Back in my boot camp days in 1965 at the Edson Range while in Platoon 347, we had to qualify with our M14’s including 500 yards! Hell, after 500 yards 1,000 ain’t shit. LOL! Think about it, 500 yards with standard M14 sights not a scope. SEMPER-FI all!

Don’t ever underestimate the little 22-250. That is one bad mama jama. I have complete confidence in mine.

I had a M77 Rugar Predator Hawkeye in .22-250 years ago with a grey cerakote finish. I ended up selling it cause I didn’t feel it filled an actual roll for me. Boy what a huge mistake and I will definitely pick up another one of these in the near future. I hear the guys voice from Alabama Arsenal in the background. Another awesome channel. Great job with the video.

I use to think the bigger the better but when I started getting older about 20 years ago I didn't like getting the crap bet out of me and started varmint hunting and picked up the 22's. I bought a 220 swift after I seen a guns and ammo article on the Remington model 700 bdl first production that bob milick (spelling?) did. I bought the same gun with the same scope in the article. Oh what a blast. 55 grain nosler ballistic tip reloads I do. High winds keep it under 300 but if it's calm dust them easily up to 600.

Thanks for the video I no I was always asking for the 22-250its my favorite round wait till you see the damage on a deer

Surprised anyone would say that it would not do it. But use some 20 moa bases and you can take that off the scope and allow you to dial in better...

Awesome video. I love the 22-250. There's just something about the speed. It hits like Thor's hammer.

Smaller bullet wind don't affect as much. May do fine

You should be competing in “King of long range shooting” man you even have a 50BMG so no problem!

Now you gotta try your 223 at 1,000 yards. Glad see you prove the google machine wrong!!

Bullet is going subsonic at 750 yards, causing instability which kills accuracy. Now if you could get tungsten bullets, a 55 grain length bullet would be 85 grains which would stay supersonic at 1200 yards.

Nice shooting, that was a surprise that a 22-250 55 grain actually made it to 1000 yds.

Nice video! Thanks.. I started off as a kid with a Vietnam Era (my Dad) "match grade" (so I was told) 20-250... An amazing round!

Ads running Adam, make sure they pay you. Great shot man, I couldn't hit that 200 yard shot!

CVA Cascade has the potential to be a great rifle. Bergara and CVA are owned by the same company down in Georgia. This rifle has a Bergara barrel, Timney rem 700 style trigger, and a big three lug 70 degree bolt. The scope base is the same as a savage model 110.

Dad bought a 22-250 in 1967 a savage 110. If you could see ground squirrel in the scope it was dead. Killed many over 500 yds using speer 52gr hp. Sadly in the 80s it burned up in a house fire. All were loads we shot with H4895 at 35.5grs that we reloaded

Lol just stumbled upon this video my friend. MAN YOU LOOKED ALOT YOUNGER just 3 years ago lmao!!! Joking with you brother

Nice shiooting. That's a long way for such a light projectile.

Having shot some F-Class at 300. 600 and 1k yards a .223 at 300 is competitive using 80 and heavier bullets and not at 600 in any manner and have never seen a .223 used at 1K. 6mm. 6.5mm 7mm and .308 calibers at 1k. Long barrels and the heaviest bullets made. Note F-Class uses 1/2 minute targets and go for score and "X" count. With a tight twist barrel 28" or longer would "ring" steel at 1K fairly realiably.

What does Google know. That's pretty cool. I've done 700 with my 22-250 and haven't bothered any further since my rounds are probably going back transonic at about 750 according to my ballistics app. Now 700 yds for my 260 Rem is a cake walk....which is only to be expected.

Building a 22-250 from a Sako 75 with 1-8” twist barrel just started the process

I'm going to get me a Rifle Chambered in 22-250.....Yes, Sir

Fantastic-however cannot overcome bullet weight & BC. Would be deadly with a 1 x 8 twist barrel launching a 85 grain Berger.

Yhe 22 250 is very common in my area for coyotes. I hunt with a guy that shoots 75 to 100 coyotes a year. He has a heavy barrel Remington 700 in 22 250 and I have seen him hit coyotes at 500 yards well leaning against the truck mirror several times. Guys that shoot a lot at live game.running deer and coyotes with hounds learn to shoot very well

I used to shoot my Savage 110 Bull Barrel 1000 yards all the time had it sighted in for 400 yds and never touched the Scope adjustment again, I I raised over my target according to the distance, I was also shooting my own loads 53 Gr BTHP at 4300 fps never a miss. from taking off Gopher heads, Coyotes, Deer and Elk. about the only time I used a Rest was removing Gopher heads at 700+ Yards. I was using a Tasco 6x24x50 Scope, I could see the Fleas on the gopher's heads with that scope.

I love how the dude in the background is explaining, there's a square the a man to the right then another square then a man then a little man. Lol

That was awesome! Think I'm gonna get that 22-250 for my son.

Use a 1 piece 20min. mount or 30 min. mount for shooting 1K yards

I have a 1:14 twist. I’ve killed a deer at 860 yards; right through the heart. 22-250 is the best round ever made.

That's great shooting considering that round wasn't designed to be shot that far.

Great video, enjoyed it out of Sydney Australia. Very effective at 700 yrds! Would love to see your 300 win mag with 180 gr.

It didn’t waste no time hitting that 200 yard target..lol!!🔥🔥

My 243 ruger American has 1-9 twist. Kentucky

Love my 22-250 but the 2506 is capable out out performing the 6.5cm

You need a 20 moa rail. You put your cross hairs back on the steel and click to your dirt splash.

I always shoot Hornady 4000 fps 50 grain because of my 1:12. I think that they go transonic around 735 yards.

Well i guess you found out why people recommend heavier bullets for 1000 yards. I have a 7 twist 22-250 and shoot the 95 smk. It does really well at 1000 yards and it only takes 24 moa to get there. Your cva did surprise me. Very accurate

Thank you 😊

Heck yeah! I have a Bergara hmr in .22-250, I haven't missed a coyote and farthest I've shot one is 510 yards.

Looks like a whole lotta fun....

22-250, that’s the first rifle I ever used lol, besides a .22

Well done sir! I think you've answered a question that few would even think of asking. And there I was hesitant at shooting my Tikka .223 in a 500m match! LOL's on me!

Love my 22-250......

Awesome budget gun, and y'all done a good job of showing what it can do

Awesome video, I have a ruger 22-250, it’s a lot of fun

I've watched you using this rifle in other videos and if this how all CVA's perform I would get one. Also your video proved the 22 250 is not a 1000 yard cartridge. Well done!

I’ve never viewed one of your videos that wasn’t going to be a really fun video.

It would be nice to show a video on how the scope works with what your doing by moving the crosshairs up and down and what your doing with the variations of 1 or 2 mil

would have been nice if Alabama put some fresh paint on the targets - otherwise good shoot'in.....dont think the can helped you any - try it without.

Used to have a Rem 788 in 22-250, pop coyotes all day out to 600 yds, and never had a deer run more than 10yds. It loved those 55gr bullets. Unfortunately lost it and several other rifles, pistols and shotguns to a housefire

I used to shoot my Savage Pre or there about 1975 model 110 26" Bull barrel 1 in 10 twist, 53 Gr BTHP Sierra @ 4300 FPS out to 1000 Plus all day long taking off Gopher heads I shot Elk, Deer, Coyotes, Rabbits, never an issue with Distance or enough energy at that distance to KILL. I won't say I Never missed but I didn't miss enough to remember them, usually 1 shot kills at all times. I wish I could find that gun again. they don't build them like that anymore.

The ding at the range in CBT is the greatest sound and at 400 meters Is anyone down range lock snd load 1 three round magazine in your sweet M-14

Time for to to pull out my 22-250 from the safe. I don't have a place to shoot long distance, but even so, it's a fun caliber

Who Tee Who..... That was awesome shooting at the 1000 yard mark. That last shot was dead center on the left edge of that plate. You should invite that other channel out to the range with you, so that he has an opportunity to update his page on your rifle's capabilities. Let' not forget that last shot was accomplished with your scope maxed out. Now I am not sure what impressed me most that rifle or your shooting abilities.

Always watch Alabama arsenal liked to see the process of reaching out that far!

Holy high scope batman.

Cool. Love shooting longer ranges with smaller calibers!

Great shooting. Enjoyed watching the video as much as you shooting.
