Thread: Tight twist 22-250

I have a rifle that i built up about ten years ago with a 224 cal Truflite barrel with 1 in 7 twist and 26 1/2 long. I started off using Hornady 75 Amax cause that was available. Very explosive at 3100 I now use 75. sst at 3200 because I went to a slower powder. I only use it on fallow which I have taken out to 350 metres. I love it and I also have a tikka 243 and a 25-06. You have a great range of projectiles available to cover most animals in nz but with the case capacity of the 22-250 you definitely need a barrel longer than 24 inches otherwise you may as well use the 223 Try it you’ll love it
