I've heard they could take down a T Rex, given the opportunity.
I used to reload ballistic tips in my 338. They shot lights out.Not always fur friendly but laser accurate. Cheap too, compared to a lot of the other options out there.

1-9" will easily stabilize 62's. I have a 1-9" on one of my 22 CM's with a 17" barrel that shoots 75 ELDM's into tiny groups at 3250fps.
You'll have more room in those AI mags than you'll ever need, even if you chase lands as the barrel wears...After a little research I’m leaning to the 62 grain ELD VTs. The Bergara Squared Crest has a 1:9 twist, and it has an M5 AICS style magazine. I haven’t been able to find the internal length anywhere yet to determine how long you can load the sucker. It is a 22-250 though, and the short action is also loaded in 6.5 PRC. Does this mean I should plenty of room in the clip? What about in the barrel? I’m learning here. Questions? No, why am I so dumb isn’t a valid quandary. Thoughts? I’m leaning toward purchasing some Browning BXV ammo for break in and shooting fun from Midway. Then I’ll use the brass to reload the ELD-VT’s over some Varget to start. More thoughts???
My 22-250 is a 1:12 twist. I shoot primarily 50gr projectiles out of it. Super fast and flat shooting. My go to is vmax for coyotes. 22-250 isn't a fur saver, dang near rips them in half sometimes. Really a fun cartridge for coyotes and also deer hunting. My brother has a 1:9 twist on his 22-250, we load him 60gr vmax. His gun shot the 60gr really well. It's a fun round to load up and a dang good coyote round. When I'm saving fur I either use my 223 or 204. Much more pelt friendly than the 22-250.
Any load data on that 60gr V-Max? Just got my barrel delivered in a 1-9 twist and will be doing load work soon. Starting with the 62gr ELD-VT and hoping it will work, otherwise the 60gr is my backup.My 22-250 is a 1:12 twist. I shoot primarily 50gr projectiles out of it. Super fast and flat shooting.

25.5 gr cfe 223. Works really good out if my brother's rifle. Cfe 223 was and still is easier to get here than any other powder. I shot h380 with the 50gr from my rifle. Will likely switch to cfe out of mine once I finish off the h380. I do enjoy varget just really pricey and for me have to order online. Cfe I can find on the shelf at my local shop. Havent chronograph that load yet, but it put a hurting on coyotes. Hit one around 240yards and was no saving that pelt.
I shoot 50gr vmax from my 22-250. My brother shoots 60gr. Different barrel twists.What bullets do you guys use?
