Re: Dog rifles
I've always used a 22-250. I am actually waiting to get my barrel from Bartlein, and I went with a 1:9 twist rate. I wanted a twist rate that was fast enough to send the heaviest bullets that I wanted to shoot with it (69gr-75gr), and that if I wanted to shoot lighter (55gr) I could. Good for varmints, and good enough for paper. As long as it hits where I am aiming I could really care less. There is <span style="font-weight: bold">absolutely nothing wrong</span> with a .223. And there are days when I wish I had a .223 because the barrel heats up pretty fast while shooting dogs. I love my 250 and wouldn't trade it for anything. .223 ammo is gonna be found everywhere, and its cheaper to shoot. Other than that it is my opinion that they are about a horse a piece.
