What are people using in their 22/250s for varmints?
Grabbed a T3 Varmint and will work it with factory 1:14" for now. Rabbits and foxes, shot for splat and pop effect.
Do I start with the 40s at 4000+, an old fashioned 55gr because I have 2 barrels worth ... or the old reliable Sierra 52/53gr MK?
Decisions decisions...
Cheers...

I have some 35gr Nosler lead free BTs that'll be given their head at some stage.

My BDL varmint has always been fed 50gn v-maxes, but when my current stash runs out I have a box of z-maxes to start using.
