gbal Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 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! gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsc1960 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 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?
