I carry two 22-250's on a prairie dog hunt, one's a 9 twist and the other's an 8, and they both are shooting 55 gr ballistic tips into tiny holes. I have the option to shoot heavier if I want but you can't shoot a heavy out of a slow twist. I can't see any reason to go with the slow twist.
My reason for sticking with a standard 22-250 boiled down to costs. I have 500 cases for each rifle and didn't want to fireform, and something exotic like a 22 Creed would cost a fortune to buy 500 pieces, standard 22-250 stuff is available and cheap. Quantity has a quality all it's own and I'd much rather have 500 rounds of 22-250 than 50 rounds of 22 Mystical because I couldn't afford the brass. I have a 6BR for when the ranges get long, a 6mm shooting heavy bullets will reach out there better than any 22.
I didn't know that.............
you come here to get all learned up on stuff. see, its working well.
Yupper........you come here and you get an extra-special education.
This place is kinda' like the Smithsonian for irrelevant gun facts.....tomato juice cans, etc., etc...........
