Sorry, i posted two times.Wouldn't happen again.

Sledneck,

Welcome to the USA. We speak AMERICAN over here, not english. Remember that we fought the British twice and won. They are our friends now, but we started with English and enhanced it and now speak American. Don't worry about the language problems. Ask you questions and someone will give you an answer.

I don't know exactly what information you're looking for, but I have a Savage 12VLP in .22-250 and I love it. It's highly accurate, fun to shoot, and blows the crap out of groundhogs (literally!)...

the 22-250 is a great cartridge i shoot 52 grain match bullets out of my 595 sporter, they raise holy hell with yotes.

The 22-250 is a wonderful caliber to own and reload for. I have two of them right now and use them mainly on prairie dogs and coyote. I can load a 40 grain bullet light enough for my 10 year old daughter to enjoy shooting and can load up to pop a dog at 400 yards.

Welcome, the 22-250 is just about the perfect varmint cartridge, but that's open to debate and preference. Flat trajectory out to about 300 meters before you have to worry about any bullet drop, low recoil and while I don't have any experience with Tikka's I have shot Winchester, Savage and Remington varmint rigs in 22-250. If it wasn't for the fact that I already have a 223, 223AI and 243 varmint rigs I'd buy one.

Sledneck, do not worry about your English skills, it is not any worse than other people on here who only speak English.

The 22.250 is a great round for any small to medium game so I would not hunt any deer or moose with it. Small animals up to foxes will learn to fear you.

Many people hunt deer´ in Sweden with the 222 Remington or 223.40-60grains is the most common veight of the bullet.243 has crossed my mind but i got my mind stucked with the 22-250 Remington.

Don't really know what the deer are like in Sweden (hope they're small!), but even on the eastern coast of the US, it's a general conception that the .243 is about the minimum caliber for whitetails. However, it can also be an excellent varmint caliber. Plus, I don't know about the reste of you, but I like having my 11 pound varmint rig and my 6 1/2 pound deer rifle as separate guns with separate purposes.

The 22-250 is a great round. Even the guys that like other large varmint calibers will note that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the 22-250. I have personally used the 60 grn Nosler Partition successfully 3 times on the smaller deer here in the south.

I also have a savage but 110 GV in 22-250 and as I have mentoned in other forums many a human being has been kill with a 22 caliber rifle ( M16) and others. The only thing I have against using such a small caliber is the smaller the bullet the greater the need for good shot placement. So if you are capable the rifle is also, a 450 yd head shot is a kill a 450yd body shot could very well be a bad wounded animal that you will not find. I would not use my 22-250 for that perpose but I have other choices.
