Has anyone got the 70gr Barnes TSX bullet to stabilize in a Ruger M77 22-250 with a 1 in 14 inch Twist? This should make a great bullet for medium range antelope hunting. If anyone got it right please post the load and the velocity as well as some notes on accuracy, Help will be gladly appreciated.

It is length, not weight, that determines if the twist is fast enough. I havce had good accuracy with the Speer 70-grain semi-pointed bullets in the .22/.250 with 1/14" twist, but anything longer didn't work!
