rifle twist

broncbuster69

Is there anyway i could determine the twist of my .22-250? Its not a factory rifle, so i cant look at a website. I bought it from a friend of mine that didnt know much about it. Its not really important that i know. I am pretty sure that i can figure a load out for it without knowing, but its one of those curiosity things.

i am going to have a rem 22 br built.i want to shoot 40 to 60 gr bullets. what twist do i need.

Hawk Carse

12 to be sure with the 60s.
14 has stabilized 50-55 grain bullets for about 75 years.

how fast of twist can i go until light bullet wont stablize (40 & 50)

WarGames

The lighter shorter bullets will stabize just fine at the faster twist for the longer bullets.
But they may come apart due to their lighter construction if hotrodded.

I would go for a 1:10 twist.

thanks i think 1/10 will work.

I'm with Hawk on the 1-12 twist for the bullets you want to use.
The 1-10 will be too fast for a 40gr.
My 1-14 700 varmit that we reamed out from a 222 to 223 puts 40-52's in about 3/8in. My Tikka 1-12 will do the same with up to 62gr's.
