[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 2032752, member: 56094"] Towards the back of the Sierra manuals there is a section on Single Shot Pistols which includes the 22-250 but the barrel they used is a 1:12" twist 15" barrel but they do list loads up to their 63 grain SMP . However if we look at the 222 Rem loading data they used a 1:14" twist 10" barrel and their loading info goes up to their 52 grain HPBT and 53 grain HP Match King. In the 50 grain section they list among others the 50 grain Blitz which is longer and obviously heavier than your preferred 40 grain V-Max. This suggests to me that your 1:14" twist barrel should easily stabilize the 40 gr V-Max if you were to shorten it to 18 inches. I am shooting 55 grain Sierra Game Kings out of a 1:14" twist 22" 22-250 barrel at 3600 fps and know a guy that is shooting the same bullet out of his 20" 1:14" 22-250. [/QUOTE]
