53gr Varmageddon Vs. Woodchucks - Savage 110 Varmint 22-250

This is the first time in the field with the Savage 22-250 with the 53gr Nosler Varmageddon. I am impressed with the accuracy and terminal performance of this set up and can't wait to do more with it. As always thanks for watching, subscribing, and sharing!

.22-250 is the King of Lasers. ❤ Congrats on The Quigley!

[@odisdenney690]

In upstate New York I would handload a 110 grain speer hollow point for my 30-06 and it would literally cut one in half, My friend would handload his 7mm Remington magnum, before we both got 22-250's. We would average 315 a year each ( two of us) and we did that for 7 years before we retired from the 10th mountain Division. We had several connecting farms to hunt on and never put a dent in the population. I truly miss those days.

[@joshuamagill4342]

I love the 22-250. It would be interesting to see a 204 ruger. Great job!!

That savage almost looks like an axis 😏

[@stevenroche9052]

My grandfather that lived during the depression in WV said his father would replace soles on their shoes with Woodchuck hide. When the SHTF they might make a great set of moccasins.

[@noturfather1106]

Suckers got some tough hide

[@Velocity4000fps]

Awesome shooting, 110 laying them out. Love my savage 12 LRPV in 22-250, shooting 70 gr berger vld match out of a 1.9 twist barrel, interested to see how it does on a chuck.

[@ChuckinTV]

Thanks! I would imagine it would just poke a hole straight through given the long nose and tight hollow point. I could be wrong though. What kind of velocity are you getting out them?

[@Velocity4000fps]

The bergers will fragment on body hits and the base of the bullet will plow through leaving a nasty exit most of the time. Used the 105 in the 243 and 115 in the 25-06, they are devastating on anything from deer to varmints. I get the best accuracy at 3350fps, not nearly as flat shooting, but really makes a difference on windy days. Do some research on the berger hunting vld

[@idaho1959kkidd]

Nice shooting! Scorcher that bullet tumbled through that chuck like a buzz saw; awesome wound channel.

[@patdudley7635]

Hi. I usually use factory ammo (Hornady 50gn Vmax) for varmint out to 350 meters so far. Gunna reload soon. Wondered about these Varmageddons, how good they were as the BC is high. I shoot a Sako 85 with 1/14 twist. would you recommend these rounds (53g) for varmint out to 500 meters ? or have you found a better projectile ? . BTW nice shooting !

[@ChuckinTV]

I highly recommend these bullets for a 1-12" twist. I've found no reason to even try anything else out of this Savage. Truthfully I can't say whether they'd be good out of a 14 twist or not. They do have a bit more bearing surface due to the flat base rather than the boat tail that the 50gr Vmax has.

[@patdudley7635]

@@ChuckinTV Brill.... It is written on the nosler site that they suit the 1/14 . Just never see anyone shooting 400 meters + with that twist rate on youtube.

Great way to fill up the ole Crock-Pot for dinner.

[@mikemagnum7987]

Great shooting! I have a 22-250 in the works myself and look forward to shooting it. I don't have the chucks here in the numbers that you do, but there are plenty of coyotes around! Thanks for another great video! Always appreciate the work that you guys put in to bring these to us....

[@erikwilson7622]

I remember purchasing my first "real" rifle at the tender age of 15, a Remington 788 in the awesome 22-250 brand new for $75!! I've now burnt through 3 others! I found it really doesn't matter what brand or barrel type, bullet weight or manufacturer, whatever you feed em' they shoot! Just remember to wear hearing protection, they're loud.

[@johnwallace1729]

Eric Wilson I bought a 788 with a compact Burris in .308 from a buddy for $175.00 , im kind of fond of that well used rifle , those savages shoot great , trying to decide which one in 22-250 to get anyone have input , my friend bought a savage axis in 30-06 and it shoot way beyond the price they cost , or a 110 varmint like the gentleman in this vid? { nice shooting }

[@vikingsoftpaw]

4 for 3... 25% bonus power up.

[@craig6809]

Whats the twist rate on your rifle? I'm trying to work out if the flat base 53gr varmageddon will stabilise in a 1-14". Nosler gave me a vague answer which was basically a maybe but I know the Hornady 53gr is a boat tail and they say it wont stabilise. Pretty sure both projectiles are the same length 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@ChuckinTV]

Mine is a 1-12.

[@mariosaenz1216]

You my friend are one hell of a shooter hat's off to you greetings from South Tx

[@ChuckinTV]

I appreciate that. Thanks for watching. I hope you'll check out our other videos.

[@leonardboufford282]

Nice shooting! I use a 55 grain varmageddon in my 243 Remington 700. Scope is viper. Ballistics and accuracy exceed the 22-250.

[@ChuckinTV]

Thanks. I use the 70gr Varm in my Weatherby 243 at 3700fps! 20gr more mass and 50fps faster than this 22-250 load. Devastating! I don't know if you've seen that video, but it is one of my favorites. Woodchuck Deathray Strikes Again is the title.

[@klevee6076]

leonard boufford what a total load of nonsense. First off a 70 grain in 22 cal will typically have a higher bc than a 70 grain in 6mm. Same goes for any weight bullet when comparing the caliber. As far as accuracy is concerned that’s 100% dependent on the shooter. Consistency however will of course depend on many factors. Think on your comment for a bit. See where you were slipping

[@leonardboufford282]

I guess a few of you folks didn't realize that nosler makes a 55gr for the 243. That's fine. Barrel heat is yea, if you shoot enough to heat up the barrel. I normally don't have that issue. But chuckin' is right about the 70gr. I have some but haven't shot up the 55's yet. Eat your crow.

[@morganhay859]

[@trashpanda2396]

Haven't got out for any varmints yet but 62gr varmageddon shoot really well out of my .223 tikka. Looks like they shoot well for you as well. Good shooting!

[@ChuckinTV]

Nice, I'm a big Tikka fan as you probably know. I don't have a 223, but I would recommend it to anyone who varmint hunts and doesn't hand load. There's some very good factory ammo out there for it and plus it is dirt cheap to load. Thanks!

[@toast47624]

I shoot a 7mm WSM out too 1250 on goats. Rabbits have started to really build up were I live and I'm thinking 22-250. I was very impressed with those 2 long shots in that wind. I'd say you had a good 6-8mph. Good shooting and I think you just convinced me this is the caliber I want for these rabbits. I liked the raw style of your video too. You hunt just like I do. I clear the field of everything. We cull goats here by the thousands. But with the Indians building up here in NZ the farmers have been selling them so goat shooting has been pretty limited the past few years although they are also getting out of control now.

Is this rifle stock? Anything done to it other than fixing the extraction issue?

[@ChuckinTV]

The rifle is bone stock. It comes with different cheek pieces and spacers. I have it adjusted to my liking now. Thanks for watching.

[@tylerdean6021]

Man get some of the speer 52 grain varmint bullets, I shoot them in my swift, 22-250, and my 223s. They are devastating on the whistle pigs!

[@tylerdean6021]

@GastonGross that looks like what my soft points do to stuff. Try some of those speer varmint bullets and you'll see what I'm talking about.

[@tylerdean6021]

@GastonGross oh yeah, mine do good with the target and varmint speer 52 grain. I've had decent luck with other bullets like berger,sierra,hornady, etc but for 11 dollars box of 100 its hard to beat the speer bullets! Had a bad experience with hornady bullets last year so I doubt I use them anymore

[@tylerdean6021]

@GastonGross not seeing much buddy, I know for a fact that ultramax uses speer bullets. I've shot a lot of them through my tikka 223 and its really nice ammo

[@nathanhileman3848]

That 4th one: "What's all this ruckus about?!"

[@dgreenapple]

Man - you are good. Your wind holds are amazing. Do you use any software or tools to estimate windage or is it all just skill?

[@ChuckinTV]

David Greenapple Windage is usually a total guess for me because it’s always changing. Maybe I’ll get a kestrel at some point. Thanks

[@dgreenapple]

@@ChuckinTV Wow! Amazing to get a head shot on a wood chuck from 380 yards with "thumbnail estimation". Wow! You're good!

[@Physics072]

375 yards in the wind fantastic shooting. How did you calculate the 6-7 inches of wind drift? Do you use a calculator for it.

[@ChuckinTV]

It was a little bit of a guess. I don't have a wind meter, but my chart gave me the wind hold for a 10mph wind. I just held a bit more than what that called for. Thanks for watching!

[@Physics072]

Use the Force Luke, you don't need no stinking calculator. I did notice you had a card taped to side of gun, that must be the hold overs and drops.

[@ChuckinTV]

I don't know where you saw the card. I don't have one on this rifle. My chart is right on my phone. I have done that before and aught to do it again.

[@Physics072]

Oh it was on another video, the fly woodchuck one. You shot one with a Tikka 300 Win Mag and on the side of that gun I saw some kind of range card. Figured you must have one on every gun.

[@Me2Lancer]

Great shooting. I'm ready to sight in with .50 gr AccuTip BT.

[@MonsterEnergy696]

What state do you guys hunt in?

[@jimfrazier7143]

Just curious what you do with all the Chucks?

[@jimfrazier7143]

Nice shooting by the way !!!!

[@ChuckinTV]

Thanks! I usually leave them where they are so scavengers can find them easily. Some farmers prefer putting them back into the hole. This might seem wasteful, but I've never seen a woodchuck carcass last more than a few days. We have a lot of fox, hawks, buzzards, you name it that take care of them. I am mostly doing population control on woodchucks because they can cause a huge amount of damage to hay fields, pastures, and even building foundations. Thanks for watching.

[@jimfrazier7143]

Chuckin' I understand completely ! The reason I ask is their carcasses are sought after by trapping bait and lure makers for canine baits and lures. Seems you all really put the smack down on them and thought you may make some money on them vs leaving them if you can find a bait/lure maker.

[@dougi1967]

How they taste?

[@fjb4932]

Like everything, it's all in how you prepare it. You can make it unpalatable, or so good, tears of joy and contentment seep down your cheeks. Most folks wait until they are in their 80's or 90's to finally try something new, figuring they've got little to lose. Something they've rejected and avoided their whole life, only to be amazed and saddenly crushed to realize they've missed out on all those years of joy ...

[@ChuckinTV]

I usually write it in video and description.

[@fightingbear8537]

Would you prefer a 243 or a 22-250?

[@ChuckinTV]

The 243 will launch a 70gr bullet at the same speed as a 22-250 with a 55gr bullet. I do prefer the 243 for it's knock down and better wind deflection at distance. The 243 with a 100gr is great for deer as well and I don't really recommend the 22-250 for deer. I do find myself reaching for this 22-250 more often for chucks though. This Savage is just crazy accurate and very cheap to load for. Thanks for watching!
