[QUOTE="LB, post: 35089, member: 2721"] The post that suggests the 1-14" twist is a poor performer when chambered in 22-250. Of course, it depends on the bearing surface of the bullet, but the point is well taken. I have a 22-250 Ackley that shoots 62/65 grain bullets, all Bergers, and they perform very well. The barrel is 28.5" and the twist is a standard 1-14, and groups average .450 and sometimes .250, which indicates that the increased velocity (3925/65s) and the resultant RPM makes all the difference. So, not to dispute the information, but as we all know, every gun is a law unto itself. Good hunting. LB edited for spelling. note* the 65 Berger is no longer available, for those that might catch that. [ 08-08-2004: Message edited by: LB ] [/QUOTE]
