[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 928818, member: 17844"] The normal twist for a 22-250 Rem. is 1 in 14 so why would you go to a 1 in 12 twist and an improved case design and then want to limit your self to 40 grain bullets ? You must be trying the wrong kind of 55 grain bullets . The Sierra 55 grain HPBT should work very well in that rig . In a CRF Mauser 98 action you should be feeding up from the magazine so you need some good projectile support . I'm not sure that is enough . Run a few dummy loads through the action and then test the projectiles for run out. It's better to have a jump to the lands than badly out of centre bullets . If you can't get to the lands or close to it don't use Secant ogive bullets . With the extra powder capacity and a 1 in 12 twist you should be able to stabilise upto a 64 grain flat base berger . If you are struggling to get enough seating depth then forget boat tail bullets go flat base . 60 grain Berger would be good. I know you said don't bother but I think you are on the wrong track with that gun. [/QUOTE]
