My 22-250 favored the Sierra 55gr Blitzking. I use it on woodchucks. I do get that "ripe melon" effect out past 400 yards. Although the 55gr HPBT was slightly more accurate, I didn't get the same terminal effect at the longer ranges.

I was pushing both with 39.0 gr of H380. and WLR primers.

As always YMMV.
