What do you think of a 22/250 for Wolf?

[slugger]

I worked up a load to shoot Antelope this year but my state decided not to give me a permit,SOOO.

What do you think of a 60 gr Nosler partition with 35.5 gr Varget out of my T/C Varmint 22" 5/r 1X14 22/250?

I've shot it and have it Zeroed at 200 yards and most the time ,If I do my part, I can keep 5 shots in a nickle size group off my Stony point sticks. The speed is averaging right at 3500 fps in 90* weather and at 4000 feet elevation. With the Varget I should keep most of the speed in the winter I hope. I plan on doing a lot of hunting for wolf this year and would be very disappointed if the bullet let me down. I have a fantastic 75 and 85 gr load for my 243 but really want to use the 22/250. Am I asking to much out of a little 22 pill?
Just thinking out loud...

R U Kidding?? My Dad's "deer rifle" was the .22-250 using 55gr
Hornady S.P.'s loaded to 3600fps. All shots were to the lungs and no deer
(even a couple real nice mulie bucks) got more than 50yds.

And you have any doubts at all about the 60gr Nosler doing a number on
a wolf??

R U Kidding??

Have a buddy using the same bullet on deer and swears by them. Go for it!!

I would think that would be a great load for a big dog. What could be wrong with it? Speed kills and penetration rules. Both worlds here on a fragile critter. Bang flop all day long.

I don't think a large antelope goes over 100 lbs if at all even on the hoof. I wouldn't give it a second thought. Looks like you have the accuracy and a tougher bullet. Shouldn't be a problem. Give us an after action report---- for the guys that think they need a 7mm Mag to down an 75# German sheppard.
