We always need a new toy, right?
Debating a 224 caliber build to run 80-90gr bullets above 3300. Thinking but, not limited to Swift, 22/284 or 22 Cheetah with fast twist 24-26" barrel. There are some who say this is impossible due to constraints of caliber/bullet length/twist ratios. The contention is that if you get a twist suitable to stabilize the bullet length, it works against velocity (<3100) and/or bullet integrity will go to pieces due to hyper-twist above 3100.
I definitely see the logic of these constraints but, i have yet to find a guy who has actually experienced these limitations.
I know several of you guys have experience in this department? is it possible to accurately run the heavies above 3300? What say you?
Note: they make barrels everyday—-barrel life not a concern!!!
