I would be keen to know as well.
I tried some 62g and only one hit the target at 25m. And that was a keyhole. 1 in 14 just doesn't stabalise them. So 55g and lighter it is.
What luck have you had with your loads.
Have only just got the rifle so first loads were speer 52g hollow points. I got 1/2" groups with 34g of 2206H.
Would not stabilise in my 22-250. Went to 55gr gamekings, 36.5gr varget accurate and deadly
I use the 50 grn in my .223 and really rate them..its a plain Jane Zastava mini mauser and best I can tell its 1 in 10 or 11?????
even that weight says 1 in 12" or faster.
A bullet worth trying in 1:10 is the Nosler 64 grn bonded. They shot ok in my one. I just had a few to try.
They are an expensive premium bullet, about the same cost as Barnes.
I've seen them on Trade Me.
They get good reports at 22.250 velocities.
What's best for the 1 in 14 barrel.
Im guessing a shorter projectile, as it will stabalize a semi point rather than splizer.......one of the 22-250 guys will know.
Speer make a shorter 70 grn .223 bullet made for 1:10
I've got a few for someone if you want to try them.
Was that a 1:14 twist?Quote:

Any way i got a sample pack today of the Barnes 55g so will try them out and see how they go.
I have to ask why????? they aren't recommended for that slow of twist.
Yes 1 in 14 twist, really tried the partition 60 gr but not accurate enough despite many attempts, like wise the Barnes except for the 45 gr
and the 45grn will probably be "recommended" for the slower twists as its shorter........
People on some American forums have said they have used them but there has been no load data with the discussion to back anything up.Quote:

I have had two 22-250 (sako, ruger) now both sold, both 1-14 twist, and couldn't get either TSX or 60gr partions to shoot at all. Good with most 55gr,
My blaser tube was 1:14 ran the 50gr vmax very well at 3500fps
Thanks brads.
50g vmax it is. Will give them a go
Juice it up with some 2208Quote:

I have tried the 64gr bonded performance from nosler and they are the ducks on goats and deer.
Good luck.
