22-250 questions, New to the Caliber...

Same here. The old 22-250 has been around for a long time, for good reason. Your set up will just let you enjoy it all the more. Keep us posted on how well. Bill K

FWIW Back when I was shooting the venerable 22 250 with 50's and 55's, I once decided to try VVN 150. I had great results and kept using it from then on. When the reloadersnest website was still up, I noticed some guy posted that he used it also with great results with groups in the 1's and 2's. His comment was that it was the most overlooked and underestimated powder for that cartridge. I never chronoed it for velocity so can't say about that. I was also shooting it out of a 26 inch Savage 110V.

Well here goes again... So i decided NOT to wait.. I just bought a brand new Savage model 10 action that has been trued..I also bought a savage factory 24" barrel 1-9 twist... I will be mounting this in a MPA chassis..I hope to shoot 75 gr vmax with this rig..On top will be a bushnell DMR II i
3-21-50 so i should be able to see..On occasion i will also be using my clip on night vission unit...

So what do you all think ???? Pros,Cons ???

This will mainly be used by one of my grandaughters,But of course i will get to play some too...

Well that's gonna work for many bullet weights a designs perfectly. If you are like most of us, you will want to probably do a faster twist barrel eventually to get the most of the 22-250 case. The 9 works very well throughout most weights but for the 80+ grain vld type bullets, the 8 will really shine. Some even say the 7.5-7.75 is best for the 90s. Now with the 95 SMKs coming out, I think getting in to the 7+ twist barrel is necessary.
