Premium varmint bullets

Post by tactice » 08 Oct 2014, 3:16 pm

Shopping for some supplies for the .22-250 at the moment, you can really spend some money on premium varmint bullets I see.

Am I the only one that's sort of thinking this is mostly a waste of money?

How fancy does it need to be to put down a rabbit or fox :|

Speer varmint hollow points, cheap,under $30 for box of 100, super accurate and super explosive. I do 75gr in my .243, they would definetly do a .224 cal and the 22-250 drives as quick if not quicker, you won't regret trying them

The right bullet for saving pelts or meat would be one thing.

Doesn't mean that it must be a premium costing one though.

If you're just putting them down for pest control and no other reason... Whatever is cheapest and accurate enough is your winner.

It's not match fox culling is it :lol:

It's bunny 'busting' for a reason.

Anything will make them pop ;)
