Finally got to shoot it!
« on: April 22, 2007, 07:09:32 AM »
I finally got to shoot my handi in .22-250 for the first time yesterday. Without any modifications to it, it shot well. Stayed around 2" the whole time. It had a tendency to shoot the 45 grain Winchesters a bit more consistantly than the 55 grain A-max's from Hornady. Haven't tried the 40 grain bullets yet. It was just a quick range session though I can't wait to get some real range time.  ;) ;D

Any day at the range is better than a good day at work. Good luck with it. I am sure you will be able to tighten up those groups. ;D
The quality of a mans life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence.

A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work!!

Nice shooting , now wait till you get 200 rounds or so down the pipe , it should be a tac driver once the barrel smooths out . I just love mine 250 , but its still in 3rd place behind the 223 BB and the 45/70 .
