[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 853844, member: 63138"] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3]I’m looking to get a new 22-250 barrel for a 12 FV Savage that I already have. I’m planning on using this barrel on Montana p-dogs where the wind can make a real mess of a 500 yard shot. The rifle came with a 12 twist 22-250 barrel and it shoots the 53 gr VMAX just fine but it won’t begin to shoot a 75 grain bullet.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3]Relatively speaking, the BCs of bullets that you can shoot out of a 12 twist suck compared to say an 8 or 7 twist. But I’m kind of wondering should I go with the 8 twist or the 7 twist or something else and why? Can I still shoot the 53 VMAX out of a 8 or 7 twist and not have it fly apart? Since there is never a free lunch, what do you give up when going with a fast twist versus the slow twist? [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
