[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 455662, member: 25383"] Savages either come in 1:12 or 1:9 twist. The rest are 1:14 twist. The slower twist requires a shorter bullet, with a lower S/G factor. The 60 grain partition may be all you need as it has a lower number than the Vmax or BT. Plus it should be a little more effective. I shoot Vmaxes in my .223 at 3274 fps, they will drop a 30lb. coyote in his tracks under 300 yards. The BT's will not stablize well in the 1:14 twist barrel, but do work in a 1:12 twist. Now a days I seldom use my 22-250's on coyotes because they simply blow right thru the torso, but have been working on some reduced loads a little bit. The best so far is still the Sierra #1365 bullets at about 3300 fps. This same bullet prints in the mid twos at 3550 fps, but groups seemed to open up to the mid fours (I think I'm getting a velocity variation from the air gap in the cases), and right now I'm looking at a couple new loadings using AA3100 and AA2700. I'm looking a large load densities as opposed to huge velocity gains hopping to see tighter groups and an honest and consistent 450 yards range. If this won't work.
