22BR 14 TWIST

What I've used.......Reloder 15, completely awesome.......vv133, excellent....W748, excellent....and probably several more I haven't tried are good too. Shooting Sierra 50gr Blitz and Blitzking, 14 twist.
 
Out of curiosity, what kind of velocities are you guys getting with the 50-55g bullets in your 22 brs?

One thing about the 22BR is that it has wide accuracy window.....accuracy over a broad velocity range. I think a lot of that is because of the slower 14" twist, it isn't as fussy about loads. The one I've shot most is a rechambered 40X with no freebore, .243" neck. I shoot only 50gr bullets in that gun. With W748, accuracy is from 3821-4004. With VV133, accuracy from 3755-3940. Chosen powder is RL15, accuracy from 3675-3900....my load is at 3900.
 
Thanks for the velocity info, I've been using a 22ppc with the 50g Vmaxs and getting 3550 out of a 20" barrel with no pressure signs was curious how much I would really gain by stepping up to the BR for the next barrel.
