22-250 1 in 9 twist bullet suggestions please

[acemisser]

I have a new barrel on the way with a 1 in 9 twist..22-250 cal

what are someof your suggestions as to bullet weights I may
need for this? Guess my 55 grain will be worthless from
what I hear or is this bull?

Hope to get some good ideas from you fellas....John

I call bull I have shot 36grs out of a 9 twist, maybe not as fast as my slower twists barrels but you still can get a good grouping, the 22-250 is a very versatile chambering.

1/9" & 55g pill ought to print nice small groups. It was a VERY accurate combo in my Savage 22-250.

....is this bull?


My 1:8 twist Rock River shoots 55 grain Nosler Varmageddon's into honest less than .5" 5 shot groups.

all you can do is try the 55's and see! can't hurt anything. it may surprise you.

I'm betting the 55 grain will shoot well unless it as a very thin jacket. 55 grain Hornady SX bullets vaporized when shot from a 1 in 9 Ruger #3. We shoot bunches of Midsouth Varmint Nightmares in three 1 in 9 AR 15s and they are accurate in each as well as in a Savage Model 11 with 1 in 9. I know the .22-250 will spin them a lot faster, but they should still hold together. I am considering a 1 in 9 .22-250 for use on deer with a Barnes 62 grain TXS.

BULL, in capital letters. More than a few newer factory rifles are 1-9 in 22-250 and a 55 is probably the most popular factory load out there, all works just fine.
Years ago I built a 1-8 223 (I had the barrel and thought why not) I had planned on a 1-7 and a 1-12 swap barrel for light and heavies. The 1-8 handled 40's up to 80's with equal accuracy.

You have no worries, Besides the 55's you can use a few 75gr AMAX' w/ 41grs Superformance for 3500ish.............way cool load to 1000.

MV * 720 / Twist = RPM

Centrifugal force, or the "spin" is what kills bullets; NOT the velocity.
Over on shootersforum under the ballistics forum I have 22-call bullets RPM ratings. Or you can ALWAYS call the bullet manufacturer. MOST "premium" or tipped bullets have about a 280-290,000RPM limit. Older, lighter constructed bullets have about a 240-260,000RPM limit. Sierra Blitz has the highest rating of about 310-320,000RPM.

[acemisser]

Just courious as I have lots of 55 gr.V Max here...but my main interest is the heavier
ones for f class shoots

[darkker]

Hornady 22-cal VMax and SP(Not sxsp) are both 290,000 RPM

the 1-9 will shoot the 55s ok but it should shine on the 60 to 75gners ;-}

my 1-9 twist shoot 68 bthp match hornadays and just loves them. i tried the light stuff and could not get none to group.

[acemisser]

I am hoping that you guys are correct...

[Jeff518]

you might want to give Nosler 40g BT's a try too. I'm not typically a speed demon, but it sure was fun to watch the chrony climb over 4k fps and discover that they indeed all shot into a cloverleaf at 100yds...go figure, I might not have to try the Bergers

[acemisser]

Same here, thou they are not legal.......;)

What do you mean they are not legal? Why sell them then or are you revering to use for hunting? They are legal
here in Pennsylvania...

[BigHorn]

Yes hunting, .243 caliber or larger for Big Game

[M.O.A.]

they are legal to hunt with in some states just check your local rules and have fun with ;-}

[kschilling]

Run a 70-75 grain Berger VLD and you'll be shocked at what they will do in F Class (Open).

+++ 1 with MOA on hunting with them. Some state allow it and some don't.
