[QUOTE="timberflint, post: 35656, member: 2868"] Crispin, Thank you for your info. Basically we are doing some informal longer range shooting. Mostly at 600 yards right now but hope to get out to 1/2 mile (880 yards). I am a wimp about recoil so trying to come up with something in a .22 cal that will reasonably hold up. Also have always enjoyed the 22-250 as grew up with one ground hog hunting in Ohio. My Rem 700 VSSF (1 in 14 twist) surprisingly has done fairly well at 600 yards with 50 grain V-max. Best was 9 rounds (3 - 3 shot groups)in 3 1/2 inches. Obviously light wind. We have done a little better with a .223 (1 in 9 twist) with 69 and 75 grain bullets. This is where my interest came for a faster twist for the 22-250. Would you know if the faster speed of the 22-250 will change the twist needed in the 22-250 vs the .223 for the same weight bullet? Does that make sense? What I am wondering is if a 1 in 9 twist is recommended for a Berger 75 VLD would speed not change that recommendation? Thank you very much for your time and input. Tim [/QUOTE]
