[QUOTE="Mike apple, post: 2682549, member: 125385"] Yeah several years ago when I got the gun I never realized the twist rates made that much difference. Once I started reloading I wish I'd looked for a 22-250 with at least a 1 and 10 twist....wonder why they didn't make faster twist barrels for them since they have plenty of velocity to push bigger, longer bullets? I've reloaded a few 53gr vmax I was just measuring and they measured the same as some 55gr Sierra green tips (.833). Now I also have some 55gr barnes blue tips that are longer at .895 I doubt will stabilize for me and ill have to swap someone. Soft points and hp in 55gr come in around. 711 to .731. [/QUOTE]
