[mshelton]

Yep, ended up going with the 52g Bergers but the 53 Vmaxs shot fine.

Just received new 12"twist Muller Works bbl .Going to chamber it in 22/250 ,will cutting the chamber with a standard SAAMI reamer be ok for the 53gr V-max ?

I had a factory 22-250 that I shot the 53gr out of. seating depth was fine, it was the twist that was not fast enough. Shot good at 7000' of elevation, but keyholed at 1000' at 50 degrees and below. Was a 1-14twist I think

As the title says, anybody using the 53gr. Vmax in their 22BR? All info is appreciated! Primer, powder and barrel twist etc.

Thanks

Yes, using those bullets with 28.9 grains Benchmark and getting .2 and .3 groups at 100 yards. 26 inch 8 twist PacNor barrel on a 700 Rem action with Jewell trigger and I need a 36 power Weaver scope to do it.

Kinda don't understand the 12 twist thing you guys have going on these. I've shot them in a 222 1-14 twist at 3300 and had groups in the high .1s.

I worked with a guy who had a Cooper 222 Remington and the 53 max was going side ways there the target.

Just tried the 53grn V-Max bullet in my 7 Twist 22BR Krieger barrel, it shot very well...
Benchmark 29.6grn
Primer: CCI-450

MY 22BR IS A 12 TWIST AND IT LOVES THE 53GR V-MAX WITH SOME H-322 UNDER THEM !!!!

My 22br parts gun with a 12 twist shoots 55 gr Sierra blitz into a slightly fat hole with VV135.
