Hey , I knew a farmer once upon a time who hauled his calves to the auction barn in the backseat of his Buick. Is that comparable?1-8 twist in a 22-250. That's almost sacrilegious. Buy a hot rod and pull a wagon with it.
22-250 coyote loads for 1:8 twist

On a more serious note , I have been using a 9 twist 22-250 for a while now. There aren’t many hunting bullets heavier than 65 grain and that was my intention. A Sierra 65 grain GK. I still haven’t gotten there because I loaded up some Sierra 63 grain bullets and they shoot so well and are doing the job on coyotes too. My thought on the 22-250 is if you want heavier than a 69 grain bullet go with a more suitable 22 or step up in caliber.

A 9 twist is a nice in between ..who made that barrel ?
It's like fads ..the fad now is fast twist barrels and heavier bullets .
Me I'm a speed freak ..I love the impact as soon as you touch off that round.
That pop ! and explosive results ..
I guess my 220 swift and 22 250 had spoiled me through the 80s and 90s
The 22 250 has the capacity to move these heavier bullets along nicely
only thing bigger I have is the creedmor ...
You are correct I don't plan on loading any heavier for my 22 250 than
a 69 gr ... and it's a 8 twist 26 " Criterion barrel with a FPM Precision Break
a Timney Trigger , GA Precision Remmy Action in an Accuracy International Chassis
A real Dream of a rig...
That lil 62 Gr ELD VT is next I'm gonna work up some loads ..it's new
and I have yet to get a chance to make a pet load for it ..
I have a BIG Ol drum of W760 I bought back in 94 and Id better use it
before it peters out .. I suppose that's best for the 69 GR
The lil 62 ...hmmm ? I still have some 4064 and a new 8lb of Superformance
Ill try ..

I figgered the BDL floorplate is a strike against coolness, but sure makes it a peach to carry.Anything with a custom short barrel, can and NF is tactical. Coolness factor depends.
Maybe it's a wash with the ARCA plate though......
