22BRX

had one chambered for this and appreciate all info offered by those who did so. kreiger doesn't have a 10 tw, so i went with a 9 twist. i was determined to get it to shoot a 69 gr bullet and tried them all. finally settled on the barnes 69 gr matchburner and worked up an accurate load, or so i thought. jumped the bullet about .015-.020 thous with several powders and it would shoot 1/4-3/8 in groups most of the time. sometimes you have to try something different,, so i loaded some 73 gr bergers and vv540 pushing bullet .020 thou into the lands and SHAZAMM! powder charges varying by .2 gr and all three groups printed in the ones! the best three shot group was .112 in! increasing the charge resulted in vertical stringing. i think this is an example where the gun is telling me what it likes, not me trying to make it shoot what i want. i have found a very large "sweet spot".

Just outta curiosity... did you ever try VV140 in your .22BRX ?

N140 might work with bullets lighter than 75 grs, don't think that it would work that well with heavy bullets though.
