[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1418442, member: 22069"] You are correct that the 14 twist will limit your options. When I had a 14 twist, I couldn't get it to shoot any 55 grain bullets well. I had my best luck with 50 VMAX and 52 AMAX (now ELD-M). Lapua brass will have somewhat lower capacity than most other 22-250 brass. The 55 VMAX also has a longer bearing surface vs something like the 53 VMAX. Both of those factors will likely translate to reaching max at a lower powder charge than I did, though the toughness of the Lapua brass may mask the pressure signs. [/QUOTE]
