Axis 22-250

[Kwaynem]

Does anyone deer hunt with this rifle? I’m not sure on what the barrel twist is if you do hunt with it what ammo do you use?

[Dave Hoback]

Don’t use one, however, I believe it’s a 1:12 twist rate. Stick with the lighter stuff. (Under 60gr pills)

Savage web site says 1:12. I suspect 55gn would be about max. That's enough for most varmints.

Thanks I figured that’s what it was just wasn’t sure

My kids did well with Federal Nosler Partition 60gr on Mule Deer Does and a friend only ever used a 22-250 for Coues Deer.

It is Unlawful to hunt White Tail Deer with anything less than 23 caliber in My home State of Virginia. And I don’t recommend it either. In fact, I like considerably bigger.
