Thread: Fast(er) twist 22-250. Anyone using one??

As above. I have just seen a production 22-250 with a 1:9 twist built on a super short action. Anyone out there shooting a fast twist 22-250? What are your thoughts?

Andy animal is Into the fast twist 22-250 tikka stuff.

I have a 1:9 that I shoot 75g Eldms out of predominantly. Goes good. I've shot 50g all the way up to 75g. W760, Staball 6.5 and 2206h have been my powders

What MV are you getting with the 75s and what barrel length?
Thanks.

I just went into my hornady app and looks like I've lost all my data when I transferred over to my new phone but off the top of my head about 3100fps and 24". I stopped chasing the speed a while ago, that's middle of the road.

Top velocity isn't a priority for me either but interested to know how much more it has in the tank than the 223rem with the heavier projectiles.

Can't remember exactly but I think 3250 would be achievable

Im, shooting a fast twist 22Creed(basically the same as the 22250) - its a totally different animal comparred to the 14t that will only shoot light pills. Dont think Ill ever shoot light pills on a 22cal again.

If interested, I've got several 7 and 8t barrels. 22-250 as well as 22-250 ackley reamers.

My 22 CM (made from a 1:9 Savage 223) is a laser with 75s at 3220 - that's a quite mild load, I'm sure someone will get a lot more ( but their barrel life will be very short!

Correct Friwi!
All I could get was the 73g eldm at the time and they are going really well in a hardy 1/8 twist 20inch and cruising along at 3100.
I tried the 88eldm but don't think the the 1/8 does them justice.
A 1/7.5 or 7 if you want to throw the big heavies
