Handi in 22-250
« on: July 30, 2006, 05:12:29 AM »
Does anyone have experience with this? I had a barrel for my encore but went out of the encores. I am thinking a handi in that caliber since I have everything I need to load for it. Thinking it will be a coyote and plinker gun. I have had and still have a couple handis, so I know the typical easily fixable problems. I was more wondering about accuracy etc. Thanks

Four shot group. Factory Remmys always shot 0.75" for me, a good handload took a little
more doing. Technically there are better powders that Varget for the Varminter, but I like the
temperature insensitivity of Varget.
SS Bull 22-250 w/ Burris 4-16 Ballistic-Plex.
Sure is fun for woodchucks, I bump up to 55gr V-Max's for Coyotes.

Good luck,

Rick
