    Nosler Varmegeddon 55 grain .224


    Have any of y'all tried these in your .22-250 ? I was thinking about getting a box of them in tipped and hollow point since one of the places I deal with has them in stock. How were they accuracy wise? Terminal performance ?

    I Have tried them and they were great, but I am sticking with Hornady's cause I am set in my ways, and also that's what my local guy carries.

    RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

    Good deal I'm going to get a box of each and try them. since the slim picking of components it's getting challenging. I'm hoping to make a prarie dog trip in October and need to get loads for the .22-250 and get enough for the shoot and for the 308. I am thinking about just using the surplus SMK 175's in the 308

    I have them in 243. They are perfectly fine accuracy wise, and perform reliably.
    I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.

    What gun did you shoot them in and if you don't mind to tell your secrets what type of powder did you use?

    It's a Ruger Hawkeye. I bounce back and forth between W760 and CFE. I like the firing event better with CFE, but groups are a smidge tighter with 760. Can't remember what velocities on a 5 shot run, but rather quickly. I would dog up my notes, but we have an arsonist ******* running around the county right now, and I'm too tired to get off the couch.

    They pop p-dogs pretty good in my .223s at 3200 fps & accurate in all of them. I still like the vmax over them, but I will buy what I can these days.

    I ran them in my old rifle well also but I preferred the cheaply hornady 55gr spsx bullets.

    Ok thanks, my box of 60gr sierras is about out and I think might try some the next time I go to the store.
