22-250 60 gr and heavier

Has anyone actually loaded 60 gr or heavier bullets for a 22-250 with a twist of 1 in 14? If so, did they stabilize? I really do not want to buy the bullets if I can't use them. Thanks in advance.

63 grain Sierra SMP, 64 grain Win PP, 70 grain Speer SMp..

The SMP Sierra and Speer work based on their shape, and will stabilize in the slower twist of the 22.250 and the 220 Swifts...

They are also effective, so much that they both make a good deer bullet also..

the 63 gr sierra has been one of my go to bullets for accuracy. 37 gr of H380 - this is a warm load so go carefully, but my 250's sure like it
