Depends on your gun. My Howa will put three 55 or 50 grain Sako's through 1 hole at 100 metres. Federal 55 grain group ok, Hornady 60 grain are a wate of time. Every rifle is different, you'll need to experiment.

Hi as above post stated most 22-250 with shoot 50 to 55 grain good but to shoot 60 grain rounds you will need a custom barrel to get the most out of it the 22-250 standard rate of twist wont suit the 60 grain rounds
