[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 2129849, member: 106919"] It is going to be hard to find a 22-250 that doesn’t have a 12 or 14 twist unless it’s custom. A 224 Valkyrie or AR 223/5.56 will give you enough twist to stabilize a “heavier” mono/nonlead bullet. But, it being CA haven’t they castrated ARs as well? I know you can buy them still, but isn’t there a lot of restrictions on them? I went through this dilemma 2 years ago when I moved back to San Diego. My 223 (bolt) couldn’t stabilize any non-lead I wanted to shoot. I know hammer makes good ones, but I’m not going to waste that $$ shooting squirrels out in the hills. Nosler makes a good cheaper non-lead BT, but at 35 grns I didn’t feel confident shooting yotes with it. So I stepped it up to a .243 cal round. Did a cheap build on a 6 Dasher and haven’t looked back. I do see a lot of 224 Val on the shelves, so maybe that’s the route to go if you don’t reload? Go around to the local gun stores and see what they have. That should give you a direction to go. If you’re looking for a good store to go to shoot me a PM (assuming you’re in San Diego right now?). I’ll point you in a good direction. Ryan [/QUOTE]
