Need some help.. 22-250AI

If i was to get a barrel chambered in 22-250AI and wanted to shoot berger 52gr varmint flat base bullets out of it what twist would i be needing or what twist would fit that best?
 
1:14 twist shot one ragged hole with my factory gun with berger 52gr.. not sure how or is a custom barrel would chage that... i got lots of 52gr bergers on hand...
 
A 1:14" will do fine, but I would suggest a 1:12".

There is a trend to longer bullets and many of the 55gr. plastic tipped bullets prefer the 1:12".
 
My 22BR has a Shilen 1:14 on it. The 52 gr. Berger Varmint is my bullet of choice.
 
I have a 1-12" Lilja that is chambered 22-250AI that loves the 52gr Berger ahead of IMR8208. Still fireforming but the accuracy is great!
Hey 22DASHER, what powder are using in your load with 55gr BT's.

I am running a 1 - 12 twist in my 22-250 AI with 55 grain ballistics tips. Shoots amazing at 4150 fps.


4150?!!! Hows barrel life at that speed?!! Seems like that would burn em up!
