What is Berger's most accurate bullet for a 22 PPC @ 100 yards?

Thanks!

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.
No barrel yet. For some projects I select the bullet first which will then determine the barrel twist.
 
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’m gonna suggest 52-70gr

I got hooked on Bart’s 52- then dried up- went Berger 52… hoping to get some more Bart’s when he gets jackets…

I hope to do a 20ppc-20ppcAI- it’ll be for 40gr & 55gr wind cheating also…
 
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.

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.
