Ripp,
Thank you, That is a nice writeup on the history of the 22/250.
While off the subject, there was a mention of a 22 Newton which I understand is about 1/4" longer than the 22/250 and was intended for 90 gr bullets (0/228" dia.) which with modern powder could be an interesting long range cartridge. I saw that cartridge cases are available at https://www.ammunitionartifacts.com/unitedstatescartridgecases/22-newton
Its giving me a "unknown page" error when I click on it??
I like the fast little varmint cartridges.. especially for prairie dogs and coyotes.. but work well on game much larger.. I know of 2 ranchers in my area that use 22 Swifts for elk.. Yes, I can hear the wailing now from some.. so be it.. have seen it used.. all neck or head shots.. 1 shot and done..
As with any caliber, shot placement and bullet design are a huge part of the formula..
