[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 700200, member: 21068"] a 14 twist should let you shoot bullets up to 60 grains. a 12 twist will gaurantee you can shoot 60 grn bullets and should even be good to go with the 69's. Probably need a 8 to 10 twist for the 75's. I've owned [U]3[/U] 22-250's. In my experience, they are capable of excellent precision with the proper load shot out of a varmint coutour barrel. Most recent is currently getting re-barreled in 22-250 Ackley, because it finally got shot out. Standard 22-250 is good for ~3700'-3800'/sec with 50- 55 grn bullets and a 26" barrel. My VSSF is doing ~3750 with 55 Bergers and was shooting like so way back when I was doing load development with it. Haven't shot it on paper for years, just coyotes out to around 500 yds. If you don't have to pack it all day, get the heaviest barrel you're comfortable with. That will allow best precision for paper punching and long range varmints or any other target. Best of Luck in your decision. [/QUOTE]
