My 22-250 is a savage model 16 with a 22 inch barrel 1-12 twistMy pet load is 33.5 gr IMR 4064, 52 gr SMK And CCI 200 primer. I've been shooting this load for 40 years and never found the need to tweak it.
Im going to try to get a tika t3x I think myhey are 1/8? not for sure but they are faster twist now than the old ones?? Dont know if that is any better?? A 22-250 is supposed to shoot a 50 or less bullet. So Im not on board fully with the fast twist but am open to it.???Have you decided which 22-250 to get and know the barrel twist rate? Also what range do you plan to shoot out to with your rifle?
A 1-8" is what I want, but it's a fast twist barrel. It should be good for the 53 gr VMAX, which is a long bullet, to 75gr ELDM. It may work for some of the 80 plus gr bullets too. This would probably be a long range varminter. If you wanted to shoot the lighter bullets for closer typical 22-250 target or varmint then a 1-12 or 1-14 inch twist is what you want. I have a 1-14" twist but would rather have atleast the 1-12, and 1-8" would be ideal FOR ME. What is important is what YOU want to do with it.Im going to try to get a tika t3x I think myhey are 1/8? not for sure but they are faster twist now than the old ones??

Yeah it sounds like a 1-8" is perfect for you. Enjoy buddy!I just last year built a range from 25 to 700 yds and one more target at 1200.
I have a 1885 in 220 Swift ,did you ever do any trigger on yours ?I have a Browning Model 1885 in .22-250. I use 52 gr SMK over 38.5gr of 4064...
