That looks like an excellent rifle and load 2400. I don't own a 22-250, but the most accurate handload I ever crafted was for a friend's 22-250 which was a Remington 788. Cheap rifle but it was a tack driver. The load kinda suprised me too!
That’s pretty impressive!
Here’s what I did to a real prairie dog from 550 yards with my Savage 112FV in .223:

.22-250 is a great caliber and I am ashamed to admit I don’t have one, but I may just be rectifying that situation very shortly.

Geez, bunzo! What were you trying for a Texass heart shot?!?!?
Several years ago, I believe it was 1997 a friend and I went to Wyoming for our annual antelope hunt. My rifle/caliber of choice is a Model 77 tang safety .270.
Stoked with a handload (I can't remember exactly) using IMR4831 and Seirra 130 gr boattails for antelope. BUT also, had a varmint load using Hornady's 110 gr hollowpoint. I'd have to look up what other componets I used. Anyway, this was for coyotes. And the point of impact wasn't but a half inch off from the 130 grain antelope loading.
One day we came to a prairie town so we hauled out our rifles. I popped off a couple dozen prairie dogs using those 110 grainers. MANNNNN!!! Those loads just cut 'em in two!
Popped a coyote yesterday mornin' with my CZ .223. Used factory ammo for that due in part because I need to get my reloading bench built and setup here at the house. Nailed that puppy at about 150-170 yards right behind the shoulder as he was quartering away from me. He dropped like his legs were cut out from under him... jumped up and did a somersault and then fell down and laid there. When I got to him he was dead.

The load was a 55gr HP from Cabela’s bulk bin over 19.5 grains of IMR 4198 @ a little over 3,000fps using Winchester once fired brass. I had dozens of kills at 500-550 yards and a few at 680-685 yards.
My son was using a Remington 710 in .270 Winchester and factory ammo, and he scored a hit on one of the little buggers at about 70 yards that spread PD body parts over 4200 square feet. (We paced it off)
Here’s part of him:

I am beginning to feel guilty about hijacking this thread; that wasn’t my intention…..honest! It’s just that this thread is rubbing up against my favorite subject: Small bore rifles and long ranges.
So, back to the main thrust of the thread:
My monitor is old and weak, much like me, so I can’t quite see the kind of groups is shows. Could someone enlighten me about the disbursement and placement from 300 yards? It looks like the hits are high and right just a skosh?

Oh crap! I might have caught it
SD, I can't drive because I just had my left knee reconstructed. My 22-250 IS a screamer, 52 gr bullet @ 3947 fps. With the right bullet it would work fine for Deer. Here's a pic...
