- The blitzing little .22-250 is what you'd call a 'purpose-built' varminting cartridge. This was a blast... quite literally.

What an enjoyable way to start the day ...... A tasty cup of coffee and your new South Africa hunting video .... Thanks, Matt.
Throwback heck yea
Loading that 22-250 a little hot ain't ya and those Orange tipped bullets are nosler ballistic tips not hornady v-max not saying your not shooting v-max
Matt I cannot think of anyother youtuber who posts such videos as yours, every week we get exquisite editing and footage. I don’t know how you do it but thank you!
Yeah, good call not to show remains or close up shots of the ground squirrels. TH-cam took down all of my prairie dog hunting vids and put strikes on that account. TH-cam sucks. Hopefully, someone with deep pockets can start a hunting and shooting version of TH-cam where we do not have to worry about ignorant bunny huggers beyond their uninformed comments.
full30.com, upload there and I promise to sub
I was gonna recommend full30.com but this well informed lad beat me to it a year ago.
Yea, this censorship on censortube sucks! A warning at the beginning should be plenty enough to keep the snowflakes out, that can't handle seeing this kind of thing, and if they go ahead and watch it and get offended, then they're stupid idiot morons who were warned. The little wussies that might cry. BOO HOO! Crazy that they censor hunting videos but have the Budd Dwyer suicide of him blowing his brains out with a .357 magnum, and gallons of blood pouring out of his nose and mouth as he lay there freshly dead. A man innocent of the crimes he was accused of all because of a lying scumbag that should have been charged with Dwyer's death. Apparently that's not too bad to show. Censorship like this is not unlike what the Chinese, or old Soviet government's would do. Communist-tube. Good thing it isn't the only free video sharing service.
Enjoyed your program on the 22-250. I just purchased one this week. I liked and subscribed. Your production value is excellent. I am impressed with how much your flora and topography resembles parts of my state, Texas.
Why don't you use 223 Rem is much cheaper but also effective . If you use hollow point or Vmax -By FIOCCHI
Eatable??? Don't You mean edible! You got love the S.A Dialog 😁😁😁
God damn, I have been absent from Matt's channel for a while but I must have missed seeing him Squirrelling with the 22-250 bc that first guy in slow-mo literally imploded! 🤯
Love me some 50 grain vmax, currently I'm shooting the Z-max which is basically the same with a different color tip for coyotes and prairie dogs.
K T if I’m not mistaken, the Zmax is actually for zombie hunting. 👍🏻
This is true, but I am fresh out of zombies.
Matt, do you guys see proliferation of the US based wildcat cartridges in SA?
They proliferate all around the world bud!
I'd like to see you shoot a .17 HMR or the newer high power .17 cal round. Savage makes a great .17 and it's rather affordable too.
17HMR is more expensive than .22-250 if you reload, and the ballistics aren’t as good for longer ranges or high wind.
How much does it cost per bullet when you reload?
22 varmit bullets can be found for $0.10 usd each or less. Primer and powder varies with brand but I have stocked up on Varget plus 1000's of primers and can reload a cartridge for $0.20 usd or $4 / box of 20.
Reloading does not really save any money. When you factor in the equipment, all the time needed etc. Its a wash. reloading enables people to shoot custom tailored loads for their gun that is as good as the premium ammo you buy off the shelf. I wonder if Tiger Woods makes his own golf balls? Come on, people should not have to be roped into reloading when they buy a gun to shoot. When you compare ammo compare factory load prices not reloading. You can get HRM and WSM 17 rim fire for $10.00 a box of 50. Can't do that with center fire. For 250 yards and in the WSM .17 rimfire is pretty good for the money. Once past 250 yards then centerfire like 22-250, 220 swift etc. I might get a 204 but that round looks to be expensive so would force me to work on the side reloading which Id rather not do.
Notice these guys never tell you the hidden cost of reloading. Its a wash. They do not reload themselves you need to buy a bunch of equipment and time.
Hi mat nice to hafe you back hope that problem of yours was sorted out
Great shooting video! what a spectacular scenery you have, im in Canada and love my 22-250 as well but for coyote hunting
Can anyone tell me what rifle this is? And all the attachments please and thanks
Just use your Lightsaber
Great video Matt. I use VMAX's in all of my varmint rifles incl the 250. They have never failed me.
Works great on red fox as well. They always go straight down. No pelt damage on those, compared to ground squirrel.
Greets from a subscriber in Norway.
Thanks Kjell! PS I am heading to your beautiful country in a few weeks to visit the GRS factory in Hornindal:)
Great vid again Matt, I always love the relaxed way you present your vids, the beautiful scenery and lifestyle you represent.
22-250 doing a good job on the dessies i shot a grouse with a 30-30 one time... fun time!
Hey Matt. Another great video. I LOVE the 22-250 wearing the GRS! DAMN YOU! You’re going to cost me more money! I have to have one!
I have a 22-250 Remington VLS and have killed Coyotes and ground hogs and even deer with it
Beautiful house, I could live there forever just hunting my meals and appreciating the view.
You may justify anything , but this video had an ecosystem ,curious to know that didn't you disturb it .. don't mind otherwise..
I Absolutely love that 22/250 perfect choice for long range shooting a real beauty of a rifle
They would have me shooting every day. I'd be crazy filling holes fixing that soil i need the grass. Meter by meter if need be.
One thing's for sure, those V Max bullets in .22-250 to the head are certainly a quick, never knew what hit em, humane kill. Even though Nature is cruel, we don't have to be, and a quick, instant kill is the best. I can't get over how devastating those bullets are to varmints and small game. Makes me wonder if they're secretly putting a little PETN in those cavities inside those bullets. Just kidding, they don't even need explosives with that kind of velocity and energy. That Dassie's head burst like a melon.
Can't beat mink mist. 22.250 was my favorite. 55gn Nostler ballistic tip, 3600. NICE.
Have you considered using the .204 Ruger? It’s very efficient, using less powder, cheaper bullets and has significantly higher velocities. The low recoil would be better for scope camera use too.
55 grain ballistic tip in my 250 would vaporize ground squirrels. Nice on rabbits at 200yds. Bad luck if you want a feed.
Man. Love the countryside and your shooting. Killer round is the 250. I prefer the 25-06 for our place due to wind.
Please consider purchasing a night vision setup!! Thank you for your considerable efforts.
Respectful Regards
That's much like Prairie Dog shooting out West in America.
Hey Mat thanks for sharing your hunting adventures and shooting skills
Super Video
Thanks 👌 👍 👍 👍 👍
The 22-250 is definitely a great "vomiting" round.
Looks like a customized tikka you are shooting in the 22-250. Great guns :)
Awesome Video Matt :) Keep them Going
Matt I want you shooting biggame with big bore rifles
Were you able to monetize the video? And on a serious note could you do some rimfire Hunting with something like a 22 LR or a 17 HMR ?because I feel that using a 22 250 was a little bit like cheating LOL.
Very nice shooting! I wish I could have a suppressor on my Varmint Rifles, but No!!!! Not in Communist California!!!! : (
I meat you at the cricket game in PE
I love the 22-250 great caliber!
This is by far the best hunting channel on TH-cam. Thanks!
How much does this round go for in south africa?
wooww,, beautifull spot
Julle maak lekker vids praat so n paar woorde afrikaans
TH-cams rules fucks up everthing
You guys make some nice long range shots with the 260 and 22-250 on them small varmints. I would like to see how you would react to a nice northeast USA whitetail buck...gun or bow. I know you have big animals is SA but nothing like a big northeast USA whitetail buck.
Those Dassie are weird looking critters especially with their formidable looking fangs! I read somewhere that their closest relatives are elephants! What do they taste like?
Does anyone there shoot the 243 Winchester round? My brother-in-law uses his to shoot both ground squirrels and jack rabbits using 60 grain bullets, and he hunts deer with it using 100 grain bullets. Pretty versatile round. There a guy in Scotland who has a TH-cam channel and he uses a 260 Remington on varmints there. He makes some amazing shots.
Did that savage 22-250 come threaded or you get that done after? The model it looks like on
...Their site isn’t threaded. Or maybe that’s a model not made anymore
I NEED THAT GUN I HAVE A GRIZZLY 5.5 MG AND IT CANT KILL A DAMN PIGEON FROM 20 METERS WITH A HEADSHOT!
Hi Matt just out of interest how do you have the Atlas fixed to your stock , is it a short section of rail or a stud adapter.
Cheers mick
The 22-250 is an excellent tack driver when you develop the right loads for it. You should be able to get consistent groups inside the diameter of a dime at a hundred yards with it.
Nice video and you explained all that you do and why. Superb job, mate !!
Which camera do you use to get the cinematic shots at the ending of the video? The shots blow my mind!
The thwop of the impact is crazy! 22-250 is a great caliber. really does a number on coyotes. The in-laws have shot several off their property at over 300+ yards and they drop where they stand.
Really like your VIDEOS but I was just wondering do you have dangerous game were you HUNT? Good hunting.
Some great shooting buddy 👍 another great vid 😉 ... JP
I shoot a suppressed 222Remington, a bit slower but very flat shooting too...
🖖🏻😎🇫🇷😇🖖🏻
awesome!!
Great videos,👍 I have a 22-250, but where I live I have limited range. What do you feel is a max effective range for the 22-250 ?
The only bad thing I see about shooting the squirrels with a .22- 250 is there's nothing left of them to eat
Using 55 grain Hornady SX bullets are absolute dynamite on ground squirrels !
That was two handsome young men at around 5:02! The black kid looks like he may be dna linked to Obama, lol.
That little critter had a good set of teeth. Almost on par with vampire. What family is it , Cat ??
Bravo, nice video as always, simply awesome....Thanks Matt.
Love from Pakistan.
1:13 not a good carry brother
+airarmshuntsa that is such a beautiful place. Your video production is also top notch Matt. Keep them coming!
Love my Browning X-Bolt Composite Stalker in .22-250...
What do you think of that chronograph you have?
22.250 man thats like shooting ants with ah howitzer
No suffering here. One shot. One kill.
Looks like a good tool to use for the job in the wind.
I wish your videos were longer.... Could watch them the whole day. Thanks for all your wonderful videos 👍
Great video, makes us want to leave the couch and go hunting.
Great vid Matt, your filming is very artistic and immersive around camp.
Another great vid thx Matt. How can I get ahold to make a booking there to do some airrifle shooting or do they not cater for that?
I have never heard of a Dassie. Looks like a mean ass woodchuck.
Nice .22-250 it’s certainly an odd caliber, here (in the US) we tend to use the .223 for hunting varmint or just a .22 Magnum. Also what are the laws around having a suppressor in S.Africa? In the US you have to pay $200 and wait till you get a tax stamp to purchase one, is that the same in Africa or is it unregulated?
22-250 all day long in USA so is AMMO wtf ??
@@walterquick8649 I said here as in my local area in the US not here as in the US.
Great stuff!!! you have a ton of super videos.. Thanks for the upload. Best from the USA
Wonderful video
Legendas em Português do Brasil por favor 🙏🏼😅🤩
👍👍👍👍👍👍😊
Matt. Your vids are next level with the drone footage and music. Nice work, mate.
Your camera works great. Awesome video.
Those bullets are damn destructive..wow
Awesome video s
Hi Matt, I've had 4 22-250s in the past and that bought back A LOT of great time shooting them and reloading them as well !! Thanks mate. Seeya Rob.....in aus we call 22-250s The Sledge Hammer or the 50gr Grenade launcher !!
Haha, you Aussies have the best nicknames for things!😂
That indoor Braai at the end, just amassing, only in Africa!
another fantastic video......22-250 rocks !
Mantap
That 250 is nuts, mine bucks like a mule...
Excellent video. Thanks a lot for your efforts.
Tac 20 is the one. Or 17 hornet
Love your videos 😎 i my self have started varmint hunting last year . I have 223 remington And 22lr. Im Waiting for my bergara b14 hmr 6,5 creedmore to arrive. Love your 260
øyvind andre hansen : Bergara makes excellent rifles, with very precise barrels.
I want one
Bro.... When is your sponsorship Hunting trip........ cant wait...... and If its permitted do some Night Hunting video too......
Tiasunep Mollier o
Great video Matt ! It interesting to see what kind of damage a 3600 fps .22 bullet can do but I think it's safer to not show an impact where the .22 makes a mess of that tiny squirrel. I don't wanna Miss any of your videos it will be a pity to see such a great video deleted because of that.
Ahmed LAHLOU You should see what the 35gr Hornady Superformance NXT does @ over 4400fps. The 35gr Vmax turns Gophers inside out.
Why u dont do an video about airforce texan airgun
hi Matt have an off topic question :) what cal u using in your FX Impact when shooting monky and dussies ? tanx for great videos and info. regards from norway :)
More than likely .22, I don't think they can get any bigger calibers.
Hi from Australia Matt... how's the situation with the anti's in your home town working out? kinda hoping they've let up on you.
It seems as if they’ve given up, but somebody told me this morning that I’m being investigated for poaching! I doubt it will come to anything, but its pretty sad that they are spending their energy trying to drag down people who to the best of their knowledge are abiding by the law, when there are countless REAL poachers out there killing endangered animals intentionally and with no remorse! It it really messed up - all driven by emotion!
HOW AIR RET PELYESS THE CANT NAMBAR PILESSE
I love the 22-250 the best small kalibre gun

Hey Matt your videos remind me of my home... Soo good
