I haven't had time to work up a load. I worked up one with a sierra 53 gr HP that will shoot under a inch. I have bunch different bullets
Sierra 52&53 gr match 55 gr BT HP gameking 50 gr bking. Hornady 50 gr spsx 52 gr match 52 gr a max 40 thru 60 gr v max . Nosler few 50 gr 55 gr and 60 gr BT. And others powders benchmark varget tac imr 3031. Would like to get a load for nosler 55 gr BT but will load what it shoots the best on coyotes. TY.
 
I have a T/C venture predator. Camo version. I use Nosler 50 varmint ballistic tip, I'm using 39.7 grains of CFE223 and have great results. For the price of the venture I'm totally impressed with the accuracy.
 
I only shot a few different bullets (52 Amax, 53 Vmax, and 60 BT) out of my Venture and they all shot exceptional. I used Varget and H4895, both shot great. Settled on 53 Vmax with a max charge of H4895.
 
I have some 60 gr v max and nosler BT to. Have them for my AR. Didn't think about shooting them. I don't have any 50 gr BT but 55 gr I do. I have 40 thru 60 gr v max. I will have to pick some up. I have 3 TC ventures 22 250, 204 280 rem. Going to let my wife have my tikka t 3 lite 25/06 and get a TC in a 25/06. I just had a muzzle brake put on my 280 so she could shoot it. I have been shooting 120 gr v max on deer. My new deer rifle. I am glad I got a 280.
 
What's your take on the accuracy of the Ventures? I was so impressed with the 22-250 I got one in 243! I struggled though with the 243 til I had quite a few rounds through it and found it favored the heavier bullets. I'm probably a little picky, looking for the sub 1/2" groups consistently.
 
i have one and witht the 50gr vmax, 36.48gr Varget, I was able to get 5 round .34" MOA. I haven't messed with it since, and have drilled and dropped coyotes with it out to almost 600 yrds without issues.
In my opinion, its the last gun I would get rid of in my whole collection if things ever got really bad.
 
My 9 year old boy and I just got back from the range. We shot his little TC Venture Compact in 22-250. I had reloaded a 50 grain Rem Power-lokt bullet over 35 grains of IMR 4064, and it was doing .5" 3-shot groups at 100 yards. He hopes to get his first coyote ever this year with that load. I have been very impressed with the accuracy of this gun.
 
I like for mine to shoot a 1/2 group or less. I may order some 2nds 50 gr nosler BT and try. I forgot I had a box of 500 ct of Sierra 50 gr bking I fount looking thru some stuff. Never shot any of them some say r deadly on dogs.
 
see if you can find some 60gr sierra hp. Ive shot several and everyone was a one shot...dead coyote type of situation. I run them in a 14twist at about 3450fps and they flat out hammer them. very accurate in my rifle with a moderate charge of ar-comp. I had one blow out on a qaurting towards me front shoulder shot. all other shot there was a pencil entrance and no exit, broadside and front chest.
 
I call my Venture 22-250 the "garbage disposal". Whatever bullet I by to try in my Ruger .223 that it doesn't like, my Venture just gobbles up. I have yet to see it shoot anything poorly, but it does have an affinity for 55 gr SBKs over Ramshot Big Game.
