[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5132867, member: 5958"] My Browning A-bolt in 22-250 is 1:14 twist 22" bbl (late 1980's) and cannot stabilize a bullet over 60 grains. If you want to shoot heavier rounds, like say the 70 gr Accubond, faster twist is required. Nosler says 1:8 twist for heavier bullets which they define as beginning at the 60 grain bullet weight and proceeding up to the max weight available. I personally do not care for the lighter weight bullets but I have plenty of them. They kill but are limited by how much wind and in what direction. My Browning was purchased strictly to kill coyotes in California. It did a wonderful job and when I started messing with 60 gr partitions I expanded up to pigs and down to ground squirrels. The Partition does a great job but I want a fast twist barrel very badly. [/QUOTE]
