[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2029324, member: 95344"] I'd check the twist rate, that'll save you a lot of frustration. I have a 1-14" twist 22-250 that won't shoot the 50 gr vmax's (keyholed). 40 gr vmax's shot so so. It did shoot the 50 and 55 gr BT's well. 55gr flat based Hornady SP shot okay as well. So far the best group I've had are the 55 gr Berger Match Flat based bullets, that surprised me. So it all depends, but I think try flat based bullets with longer bearing surfaces lighter than 55 grs. Maybe the 53 gr SMK flat based bullets. [/QUOTE]
