[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 859372, member: 10"] If you want to shoot the tipped 55 gr bullets up to the 80 gr match bullets, the 1-9 would be the best choice. IF you want to shoot conventional 40-55 gr bullets, the 1-12 will be perfect. I have seen on a couple occasions where a 9 twist 22-250, after having 400-500 rounds down the barrel was ripping apart pretty much any light jacketed bullet in the 40-50 grain range including the berger, V-Max and Blitzking. These rifles did however shoot the Ballistic tips of all weight very well at this point. Just need to decide which bullets you want to use, conventional varmint bullets from 40 to 55 gr, no need for anything faster then the 12 twist. If you want to shoot the heavies or stouter lighter bullets, 9 twist would be just fine. but it may be a bit hard on some lighter bullets with thin jackets at top speeds once the barrel gets a bit of wear on it.
