What twist rate is your barrel? The 52 gr target is a good bullet, as is Bart's 52 ultra. The BIB 52 I haven't tried yet, would run it in my 12 twist .224 barrels.
Yup, the Berger 52 gr. Var / Target, Flat Base,. IS,. Awesome !
The 55 gr. Flat Base, HP, shoots Extremely Well, also, in my 1-14 Twist, .22-250 with, 4895 and, H-380

No barrel yet. For some projects I select the bullet first which will then determine the barrel twist.

I use the varment for my nephews 22-250 he shoots coyotes with, its literally a 1 hole gun at 100
My Waldog shot many groups in the 1's with the Berger 52gr. A fine little bullet it is!

80.5

His barrel will probably be 1/14 or 1/13 twist.

That heavy of a bullet in a 22 PPC? Interesting.
@gunsandgunsmithing posted this in a thead I started about optimum bullet weight for a 6 PPC.
"Ferris Pindell, later in his career tested 81gr BT's in a PPC. He said it was like cheating." I assume it was a 6 PPC.

I edited the title to reflect my specific question. Perhaps people were missing the question in my first post.
While I appreciate input regarding other cartridges and other distances, it may not apply to the case I am exploring. Or it may but I don't know how to apply it.

I don't disagree with any of the above.
Has anybody tried Hill Billy's ?

A 6PPC shoots a 68.
I bet an 8 twist 80.5 Berger 22PPC would smoke a 52 grain slow twist. So much easier to shoot in conditions. And the groups are crazy small. Being that the bullet is lighter does not mean it shoots smaller. Quite the contrary.
Sorry, but you would lose your bet. Yes, shorter bullets are more accurate until you reach the point where lack of condition reading trumps pure accuracy.

I'm not sure what you are saying. Are you betting for the 80.5 or the 52?

Those 52 that I spoke of in my nephews 22-250 are in a factory SPS only thing I did was pillar bed it in a Boyds laminated wood stock. I was shocked how well it shot!
