[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 858233, member: 12995"] Depends....The 9 should spin almost everything, but for the Berger 90 VLD's they recommend a 8-twist. I think the 9 might be ok out to 500 or so, maybe further. If you were shooting an 9 twist with light bullets I wouldn't use anything lead with a short jacket on it... I'd use a HPBT bullet with a full jacket on it. But with a 9 twist, I would shoot 77gr and up. I don't know of any factory offerings that offer bullets heavier than about 55gr for the .22-250. To take advantage of the heavies and the 9 twist barrel you'll have to handload. 90gr VLD's in a .22-250 would be a nasty SA whitetail rifle. [/QUOTE]
