Am putting together an 8 twist .22-250. I would like load suggestions for 75 Amax/75 SSII.
This isn't a LR gun, just a packing hog and varmint gun. It's a Mohawk with a 22" Shilen CM #2.

Good luck with the S2....
Best for me was rl-19. RL-15 and -17 pressured out....

What's the SSII story?
I have a lot of Amax's, just a few SSII's. Just want to see what they will do.

What twist would you think is minimum twist for 70-77 grain in a 22-250 to shoot accurately?

For match bullets, my Savage 223 with a one in 9 shoots 75, 77 and 80 grain Match bullets just fine...so I'd gather a 22.250 certainly would...
My fast twist 22.250 is on a Ruger Action, PAC NOR stainless barrel, with a one in 7 twist, so nothing has been an issue so far....

My new .22-250 CM Shilen is an 8 twist, actually closer to 8 1/4" from several measurements. I'm leaning towards 75 Amax, but have 80 Amax to try. I'm also checking out 75 VLD, 75 SSII and 62 TSX.
Hope to shoot Sat. AM. Will report.

DF I use 33gr's of RL 15 and the 75gr. Gay Max. That's a warmish load in my gun. Close your eyes when you test it out. Travis

Yep, length is the twist determining variable.

http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmstab-5.1.cgiLook up lengths on the left, then input your specifics

8" will work with most any bullet worth buying.

Your R15 under a 75 grain Amax load may be a little warmish in some rifles, but oh does it shoot small groups out of my two 1-8 700's....

I personally would not consider anything from a 22 caliber a big game load. Not sayin you can't kill with it but I just don't like looking for game after I shoot it. I like the DRT shots from the big 7's and 30's. This post would fit better in the varmint rifle forum.
