Bob,

"Accurate Shooter" 22BR Cartridge guide has about all you'd want to know about loading the 22BR-except clear advice on barrel twist-but the 22/250 cartridge guide,so will give you a decent basis-and no doubt other actual users here will chip in,as PC has done. 1in10 should handle the mid range bullets well,though not the best choice for the real heavies-up to 90g-which you probably won't want to shoot anyhow. Remember near the 'boundaries' individual rifles and bullet makes /powder preferences may vary-see Big Als current 22BR comments for an example....but something will work,and work very well!

Thank you so much lads, that will do me I know its not the best twist but at the price ill be happy with it running 55/60 gr's im not after shooting out to ??? yards but more like 400 and a tad more with the medium gr's.

 

cant wait to see the pictures...I just hope its not to heavy for me :(

Bob, i shoot 55grn Sierra Blitzkings out to 500 easily with mine, its a .200MOA rifle and will put 5 into 1.5" @ 500yds, i have shot a maggie at 490yds and a pheasant at 515yds (in season of course)

MV is 3480fps from a 24 inch 1:12 twist Pac Nor Ultramatch barrel.

hi si

 

sadly it fell through as I was unable to sell my spare 20 tac, and can't justify having that sat on the shelf and a new to me rifle arriving on the door step.

 

so,it looks like the 20s are here to stay, what a waste of a slot?

 

Bob.
