hey guys just bought this and it's my first smaller caliber rifle. I know all guns shoot ammo diff. but i was wondering which brands and weight should i start with don't want to have to spend a fortune to see what shoots the best thru it if people already have exp. with them. I mainly plain on using it for yotes from 100yds and out. It also has the boss system i know thats for fine tuning but didn't know if it made a diff. in what ammo to use. Thanks for any info. and good huntin. Jim

I shoot a Browning A-bolt 22-250 with the Boss muzzlebrake and the best performance I get is with the Hornady 55 gr V-Max Moly coated. These will be perfect for yotes.
I strictly shoot moly coated because I want to take the best care of my barrel. 22-250's are hot, especially if you do a lot of shooting.

Something else I should have mentioned is that I have the 24" heavy barrel and the Boss is set at 9.5.
Yes, I do believe in the Boss system and feel it makes a huge difference with fine tuning the shots and selection of ammo.
I hope this helps.
