I just bought a cheapo Ruger American Predator in .22-250 for my better half to shoot hogs. She is deadly with a .17hmr, but using that during deer season is not a good idea. It has a 1 in 10 twist and just wondering if any of you guys are shooting bullets other than 55 grain, maybe even the 70 grain and how they handle in this rifle. I know I have killed hogs with 55 grain bullets, even .22 mag but I would like her to use larger than 55 grain. My 3 pastures are overrun with feral hogs and she loves to hunt them. I am a Ruger person and don't mean to slam the American as inferior but it is a low priced rifle....as for me I will be choosing between my 7mm08, .308 and my favorite an old 55 year old Ruger M77 in .257 Roberts. I cant wait for cooler weather.
