Anyone tried this combination. I need a barrel and George s has one in a 1 in 8 twist. I was looking for a new Douglas, Shilen class barrel in 1 in 9 or 1 in 10 twist. I am a little worried that the varmint type bullet going 3500 fps in a 22-250 rifle may come apart due to excessive spin. Is this a concern or am I just "Booger Huntin". Gracias Hoot | ||

The V-Max bullets don't have a velocity limit like the older SXs did, and it should do just fine in a 1:8 22-250. I've used it in a 1:8 .223 with no problem. But there's only one real way to find out... Bobby Μολὼν λαβέ The most important thing in life is not what we do but how and why we do it. - Nana Mouskouri | |||

Persoally I think the 1 in 8 twist is totally unnecessary. Two of my Savage made 1 in 9 twist barrels stabalize the long 70 gr. VLD, 75 gr. cup and cores and one of them the 80 gr. VLD. Keep in mind the 1 in 8 twist may handicap you in using the lite .224 bullets. Now if you wanted a 22-250 to handle the long all copper bullets the 1 in 8 is the way to go, but at the same time long throating should be considered. The all copper or better still non lead bullets are required in areas of California. roger Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward.

I do not consider myself an expert on barrles and bullets. So when I wanted to know something I asked the expert. I wanted to shoot the 75 grain A-Max in my new 22-250. I wanted a high grade barrel for my build. I ordered a Krieger Barrel. I asked the advice of Krieger, and they recommended a 1in8 twist for the 75 grain bullet. Tom. WEST BY GOD VIRGINIA | |||

I think that to be sound advice. A 75 grain A- Max. is not the same as a 60 grain V max.,however. roger Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone.. | |||

Well...I have "all the above'.. and shoot "all the above".... Roger B is right, a one in 9 in even a 223 will stabilize a 75 and 80 grain bullets... A one in 8 is even an extra margine of safety, but is not necessary...but still is sound advise... a 60 grain VMax will work at higher velocity in a fast twist barrel... I shoot it in a 22.250 that has a one in 7 twist, at MVs at 3600 fps.. and it does just fine... it also shoots just fine in a 223 Savage with a one in 9 twist at 3150 fps... so there is no down sides here.....

Gentlemen, Thanks for your replies. If I had the time to wait 3 to 5 months, I would order a barrel with a 1 in 10 twist. from what I have been able to find out in looking at barrel makers websites, they recommend 1 in 10 or 1 in 12. Really, I do have the time to wait, I just don't want to because the prairie dogs are starting to come out. On the V-Max bullet box, Hornady says to use a 1 in 7 to 1 in 10 twist. My concern was that there is a difference in the rotational velocity of a bullet going out of any twist rate with a 500 fps difference in velocity. From what you guys are telling me, I have been doin' a little "Booger Huntin'". Gracias, Hoot | |||
