    Yep works great under 36gr of reloader 17. The 69gr Match King works great too.

    Thanks! Thinkin I may try to shoot a doe with my 22-250ai this year. those 65 gr Gamekings look nasty! The 53 gr vmaxs I have loaded up now just vaporize, probably would only want to head shoot a doe or neck

    They work great on deer. Lots of hunters around here use a .22-250 and the game king to take deer out to 500 yards with ease.

    You can look-up lengths, and plug-in your specifics; get an idea for yourself.
    I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.

    the 69 and 77 smks stabilize when the numbers say they shouldnt, just wondering if the gamekings do to

    Remember it's too give you am idea, not exactly gospel. And every mfg has a nominal twist variation of about 1/2 twist +/-.

    Cheers
