.22 Caliber Barrel Twist Rate Question
What would be the maximum weight bullet I could reasonably expect to stabilize reliably in a 1 in 14" twist .22 caliber barrel? Assume I'm shooting a .225 Winchester or something equivalent and am looking for woodchuck/prairie dog accuracy out to 300 yards.

Thanks.

Most likely 60 grains, the exception would be the Old Speer 70 grain Round Nose Soft!
