Trekked the troopy up to Bago Bluff yesterday.

Some bloody wild looking tracks up to the top. Made an attempt at a few of them, most successful, the harder ones not (didn’t want to try anything too gnarly, as no winch!)
Otherwise a great day rattling this old girl to pieces!
Picnic with the missus and kids at the top and a lazy drive home.
Happy long weekend everyone.

.22-250 Remington, what species?

Hi guys,

Finally got my A/B gun license approved and my card has arrived in the mail.
My mum wants to gift/transfer her Howa 1500 .22-250 to me.

She has only ever used it for humane destruction of livestock (pigs) but i would like to know in realistic hunting situations, and at a realistic distance, what kind of game and pests you would humanely be able to dispose of with this calibre.

I would eventually like to take it hunting with some of my mates. They usually use their .222, .243 or 6.5 Creedmoor and when i asked them about the .22-250 they said they’d never used one or know much about them. Hence why i’m asking here.
They usually go for wild dogs/foxes, pigs, the odd fallow deer and rabbits.

Would a .22-250 be able to hang with them?

Any insight would be appreciated.
