A great surprise!

When I first contemplated purchasing some 90 gr. Sierra HPBT for my 22/250 I was somewhat dubious about whether or not they would be accurate. Rifle has a 1-7" ROT so I knew by the specs that it should handle the accuracy possibly! Well...I had no idea that the combo of this bullet along with H4350 would produce consistently what it's shown me this past month! I've made it a point to make a cold bore shot each afternoon from 800 yards and the results have been consistent with what you see in the photo below! The widest shot from center of this plate has been not over 4" and each shot brings a grin to my face because I can see the POI as the bullet smacks this AR400 plate! My buddy said...."You ain't got no bullseye on that target!" Told him...."I've never shot a buck, elk, or yote with a bullseye on it either...I just hold center mass!" That thought had never occurred to him!

You have a very accurate 22-250 for sure! I do believe that the 22-250 round itself is and has always been inherently a very accurate round and much more so when the right load is found. 800 yards is a long ways for a 22-250. Looks like your 90 grainer really shines at long distance. Good shooting man!

The 22-250, back when it was a .22 Gebby, was "one of the darlings" of the benchrest crowd. It is VERY accurate.. Couple a heavy (excellent) bullet with the proper twist, load it to shoot accurately, and you have a formidably competitive round, albeit with a shorter barrel life>>>but they WILL SHOOT!
