Anyone here tried 40grainers in 22-250 ,if so what they like .

Very fussy on loads ,  performance +++ when you get it right, but trying to find tight consistant groups at top end velocities is like the search for the holy grail . On the other hand you may just get lucky early on. What is life if not a challenge?

Don't try to drive them too hard and the fox will not notice the difference.  I ran a few through a 22-250 but went back to a heavier bullet as I shot deer as well as foxes and felt the 55gr was a better all round bullet.

Badly affected by wind..... can get them going really quick but they get blown about too easily IMHO. I have settled with 53/55 gr Sierras and mine is as good as it will get with this barrel.

40s work ok and are impressive on expansion and if you can work up a load that works out of your rifle and is suitable for what you want to do there is nothing wrong with 40 grain in the 22250, i chose to use 50 grain myself either Sierra  or V max 50s.

I tried some 35 superformance and far to frangible. At 4500 fps they blew up to early on Fox's.

using 40 grain noslers found to be awesome at punching holes through foxs.
