[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 763120, member: 52763"] I have been trying to to find someone who has had experience with several different bullets considered heavyweight for a 22-250 in years past. I have: 4 boxes - Sierra 63 grain Semi Pointed 2 boxes - Hornady 60 grain Spire Point 4 boxes - Hornady 60 grain Hollow Pointed I also have a 788 Remington that shoots great with 55 grain Speer & 55 grain Sierra Spitzers, which I also have plenty of. what I really want to know is if any experienced shooter has had good accuracy results with the 1-14 twist using these heavier bullets I've listed above. I know the 70 grain Speers will shoot very consistent in my 788, but 3/4" to 15/16" 5 shot groups where the best it would ever do. I'm also considering a new Savage 12 VLP DBM in the 22-250, within the next year or so. I'd like to know if the 1 in 12 or the 1 in 9 twist would give good accuracy with 52 & 52 grain Sierra Bench Rest bullets as I have 7 boxes of those two total. In other words I have a lot of .22 caliber bullets I want to shoot and I love to punch paper. I now have a range available that has 500 yards for me to place with. I've had these bullets since I gave up my FFL in the late 80's. I would love to hear you some of you old-timers out there. [/QUOTE]
