I have a friend who hunts deer with this caliber, an he always brings home meat, but he's good at taking only headshots, an it plain an simple just works. Thx for the vid
I also played with the .22-250 and tried reloading one too-light varmint round. Was bloody fast, but also nothing but dust at 50 yards. So like you I learned that a heaver round has its uses, grin.
Nice shooting! I love coyote hunting and I’m looking at a 22-250 to add to my toolbox. I’ve wanted one since high school and I’m 42. I think it’s time to pull the trigger.
Love to see the .22-250 put to work. Such an awesome and versatile cartridge that gets slept on. You should do a heavy twist setup for pigs and punch 80 grain pills into them. Devastating results with the speed you can achieve
Built it specifically for the coyotes, unfortunately when that’s the plan we see pigs lol. With the right shot placement it’ll work, but it’s not the one for mag dumps.
@@TxKiller Reality about calibres and ballistics, & what suits what target is refreshing. Some of the problem tipping them over could be shooting through grass etc, speed doesn't like obstructions as well as being a poor killer of anything not flimsy. If wanting a bit of versatility hard nosed projectiles will kill better if put in the right place, and some of those carried in case of pigs etc showing up might be helpful. Lung or heart shot will often run further, but are still dead. And the penetration can reach spinal bone etc better. But it's still a light calibre in overdrive.
Excellent footage AA . I have to say that coyote took a good portion of a box of ammo and that hit on the tree indicates that round is trucking. It looks like the hogs went down with one shot while the yotes did not. Could it be the mass of the hogs and rounds are just passing through the dogs. I remember when the 17HMR was supposed to be the flat shooting coyote smoking varmint miracle round. More on this 22-250 please!
The problem with some Varmint loads on pigs, is they use a lighter jacket on the bullets. If those are like that, you're not getting deep enough penetration, specially at the higher velocity with a 22/250. Polymer tipped V-MAX® bullets deliver match accuracy, high ballistic coefficients, wind defying trajectories, and rapid fragmentation upon contact. ETA: I just looked on Midway and the only loaded ammo I found was the Federal Premium Ammunition 22-250 Remington 60 Grain Nosler Partition. That might be a good pig load for you. All the rest were varmint loads.
Bingo, but the options are slim out there. Found a few SP’s that might do the trick though. But like I said in another comment this rig was specifically for the coyotes, shot placement will be the key if pigs present themselves…
@@TxKiller I looked at Midway and they have Federal Premium Ammunition 22-250 Remington 60 Grain Nosler Partition. For loaded ammo, that should work better. Get a box and see where it hits compared to the others. If you don't have to rezero, then a couple of boxes if you come across pigs will 'yote hunting.
I like .22-250 but do not own one. I don't use small caliber cartridges for Texas hogs but I do use an AR in .223 for coyotes, and I use 64 grain Winchester Deer Season XP ammo just in case I see pigs while hunting coyotes.
I feel for ya man, my heart always aches when I don't get a super clean instant kill. 💔 😢 A month ago a killed a racoon and I was heart broken because it was just a little thing and I blew its leg off... I didn't realize my barrel had any issues since I last sighted it fine. Did a range day and found a full 12" of deviation from point of aim. Now that rifle is retired.
Great video as always! With the ammo shortage it might be time to start reloading. Even if you don’t film it. 69 grain TMK ain’t no joke. I shoot pig & coyotes with them all the time
Straight on shots with the 22-250 makes coyotes look like they’re going to pop like a balloon. Like you say, if you don’t hit them right, they can soak up some punishment. Good thing there are no two or three hundred pound coyotes.
Dang that fence had enough strands on it. I was afraid you wear going to get a deflection off of one of the strands. Do you have a way to range with the Iray? Or are you just familiar enough with the landmark to know distances?
I can usually take a good guess with the size of the animal and my reticle, if my reticle is covering them up they’re to far to shoot. Flat shooting cartridges help as well.
Gave the 50 grain hornaday superformance a try in my 1:8 twist 22-250 and I was getting 4100 fps. Pretty excited to smack a daytime coyote with it. I thought the bullet would fall apart.
Good round and all... I still feel like for pig .300blkout is king and for coyote anything above .224 Valkyrie is good. I personally am going with 6.5 creedmore for 150+ yards and .300blkout for anything 150- yards
Killing coyotes is counterproductive. They breed more frequently and with larger litters if populations are small. You kill one or two and there's more coming back in a year's time.
@@TxKiller That's pretty fucking psychotic. Varmints or not, killing is never something to excited about or proud of. It's a necessary task at times, but if you're excited about it, there's something very wrong with you.
I beg the differ. Anytime word got out that an area had coyotes, hunters would move in and DECADES later the populations haven't recovered. It's hard to find a good place to hunt coyotes in the mountain west time zone. People drive 5, 6, 7 + hours out to the middle of nowhere looking for them, and it's still hard.
Hello sir, really like your RU-vid videos and sure would love more videos, and yes I’ve watched ALL of them , sure would like the opportunity to go out night hunting with you some day just saying great times are meant to be experienced .
