[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 838200, member: 7629"] many thanks for raising issue of barrel twist and weight of bullets. the custom 22-250 I'm building up has a Lija barrel with 1/12 twist. yes they offer a 9 and 8 twist in 22-250 for shooting 75 & 80 gr bullets. after much digging and speaking to Lilja... it seems it's not the bullet weight but the length of bullet that matters for stabilization. usually heavier the bullet, the longer. bench shooters typically will shoot a 68 gr bullet in stainless match barrel like I'm using. for optimal accuracy they like to shoot the slowest possible twist and still stabilize bullet.
