[QUOTE="Cybra, post: 3634, member: 936"] Hello, John Yes, after re-reading your post, it occurred to me you probably meant a .22 cal. .22-250, huh? Yeah, you're screwed with the 1-14 at the weight range you're looking to use. I had a Savage 1-14 in .22-250, and occasionally it refused to settle a 55gr V-max!! A 1-10 would be ideal if you kept the weight to mid-sixties and below and kept the velocity up, but to be on the safe side, you may find a 1-9" or 1-9.5" be useful. You could always take the other gentleman's advice and get a 1-8" twist as well, although barrel life will suffer some, and you'll be better off shooting the heavy stuff. Depends on application, really. Check out what Dan Lilja has to say about barrel twist rates--I think you'd find it most informative [in more ways than one.] Just look his name up on Yahoo--he has his own website. Regards Dave PS I know what you mean about wanting to do it "right"; I'm in the process of building a rather weird little creation, myself! [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
