Am I looking at something wrong? 80 grain with a 1:12 ? My .22-250 wouldn't stabilize anything above 55 with a 1:14.Settled on a 22 creed 1:12 off an old bsa donor rifle. Going 24" tube sendero profile. I'll get some chrono numbers with varget (2208) and 2209 from 40 grainers up to 80 grainers. I had some powderstacking in my 6-06 with 2209 at the top end of pressure, hopefully won't have the same issues.
See, that sounds normal to me. I don't see how a 1:12 will stabilize an 80 grain. I single fed 90gr in a Colt 6920 and they shot good.I am finishing up one in a 1-7 twist but I am planning on running 75 gr bullets and from everything I have read, I should be 3500+ fps.

Have you looked at the 22-243 MiddleSteadAnyone here shooting this Wildcat? I have a friend in Africa that hat gotten itnerested in it and wants me to get him started.
At first blush my thought was to call PT&G for a matching reamer and set of reloading dies but I don't even know if there's a standardized version of the round available or if they'd have the necessary data on file.
Suggestions and experience both welcome.
Rose,I couldn't tell you, I haven't looked into the data for either. I suspect the 22-243 is around 300fps slower since the AI version with greater case capacity is a little slower than the .22CM.
I'm just investigating this for a friend in Africa. Mutual friends will be coming over in March and I'm supposed to get it all together for him by then.
I posted that, asking if there is something new that I don't know about. I had terrible luck with a 1:14 trying to go heavier than 55. My cousin has a .220 Swift with the same issue. So I'm definitely curious.
Thank you!! It shoots as good as it looks!@quigley257 that rifle is a beauty!
Might as well run the 1:7, worst case scenario someone comes up with a 90-95 that requires a 1:7 and your setAt creedmoor speeds, with 80-88gr bullets, is a 1:7 necessary? I have two barrels one is 1:8 other is 1:7 trying to figure which one I want to use for my 22cr build.
So I wasn't wrong? That fella isn't going to be able to push a 80gr with a 1:12?Might as well run the 1:7, worst case scenario someone comes up with a 90-95 that requires a 1:7 and your set
