Hornady 53 gr VMAX

Has anyone tried Hornady's new .22 cal 53 gr VMAX? Was wondering what kind of accuracy you are getting compared to what you were shooting before? Thanks
 
I tried them in two 14" twist barrels, didn't shoot well in either one. Need faster twist than 1 in 14".

14 twist 22-250 Tikka would not stabilize them but it would stabilize the 64 Bergers. It shot the 53 Vmax into oval holes and a pattern similar to a shotgun. They shoot 1/2" groups in an 8 twist AR. I have not gotten to try them in a 12 twist 22-250 yet. I have not heard what twist is recommended for them, just that a 14 twist is not enough.
