Good to decide what bullet to shoot before you order a barrel...the bullet you want may change your decision as to what twist to buy. You have not ordered a barrel yet I assume? Actually there are no bad bullets for the 22-250. The competition for accurate bullets is very keen...and you almost can't go wrong.... My personal favorite is a 50 grain TNT....you may decide for a heavier bullet however...just make sure you keep your twist rate in mind before you order that barrel.

| Building a rifle with a specific bullet in mind may not work out. Some rifles just don't "like" some bullets (no matter whether their twist/weights match or not). I've always ended up seaching among bullets for the one that shoots best in a particular gun. Just make sure that there is something similar to the bullet that you would "prefer" so that if it refuses to shoot in your gun you will have some viable alternatives. |

| You'll have no problems shooting that size bullet out of a 9" twist. Worst thing that can happen is they might disintigrate if fired at too high a velocity, if so then just back off the powder. However, that has never happened to me with a 223.
