I have a .224 blank that is 20 inches in length. It has a 1-9 twist. I would like to know the lightest bullet that this fast twist barrel will shoot. Any thoughts? | ||

Are you thinking of building a 22Hornet or a 22-250AI? Twist rate is only 1/2 of the equasion, MV is the other half. | |||

I was thinking about a 22 BR. | |||

Once again, it isn't the weight, but the length. A 1:9 twist in a .224 barrel, at velocities under 2800 FPS, will be optimal for bullets 0.793" to 0.882" in length. At over 2800 FPS, your 1:9 twist is basically useless. | |||
