pork chop Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 i used to use the hornday spsx in a 1 in 9 with good results,dont see why these should be any diffrent,unless you run them flat out.give them a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughes.s Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks, Ditto with the spsx, I do not know what speed the sierra fly apart, what I have found out is they are a "lightly jacketed bullet should be used only in "conventional twist rate barrels (1x12" or 1x14"). It's use in fast twist rate barrels can result in bullet disintegration in mid-air" Sierra recomend for 1 in 12 / 1 in 14. I"ll hang on a bit some one may have a definitive speed for 1 in 9, failing that i"ll dispose of them, I do not need any ventilation holes in the mod.

hughes.s Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 That would be the logical way to go, I am not desperate to use them, but yes I will do that to make sure they all make it to the paper. I saw them very cheep and thought av um. Thank you for your input. Hughes.s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Has any body used these in a 1 in 9 twist barrell, I thought I had a bargin buy but have discoverd they may fly apart. My current 55g blitzkings are running at 2950 fps. I rather think these were 'meant' for 1 in 14 twist 222s at about 2800fps....results may well be variable in fast twist/velocity 224s...my then 222 didn't much like 55s,loved 52s,so I didn't persevere with the 55s.But they should plink ok at reduced velocity,at least.Bullets usually disintegrate about 50 yards out,but I would not risk a mod,as you say,even if tested without mod first...it just takes one....!
