[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 4980300, member: 5958"] Our A-Bolt Medallion 22-250 has a 1:14 twist and will not stabilize beyond a 60 grain Nosler Partition. It is a very accurate rifle and kills deer easy. I got this rifle strictly for killing coyotes and it does an excellent job at that. If you can get a fast twist barrel there is a 70 grain Accubond that would be a great choice. Our 700 ADL in 243 is a deer killing machine but is picky about what it will shoot. We load it up with 95 or 100 grain Partitions and pretty much just stay there. Very accurate rifle. I don't own a quarter caliber rifle. I know that genre has a dedicated following and the Roberts and Weatherby family are high on the selection list. The solution is to take your 22-250 and build a 60 grain or slightly less Ballistic tip round for coyotes and prarie dogs. Take the 243 and work up a recipe for a 95-105 grain cup and core bullet there must be around 50 choices. I would pass on the 257 unless it was a weatherby. [/QUOTE]
