Take notes and apply same.

Thanks for that info. If your 12 twist .223 stabilized the 53 gr. Barnes, the faster 12 twist .22-250 should do just fine. Should be one bad, hog killing round.

You'll want to determine ACTUAL twist rate(s).

I just loaded some 50 gr. and 53 gr. TSX FB's to try in my 60's vintage M-700 .22-250.
I have 50 rounds loaded with 60 gr. Ralph Council bullets, no blood drawn yet. They're hand made, primarily for BR shooting.
My hunting bud killed 6 hogs on the Red River levee at his place, yesterday, with a heavy barrel M-70 .22-250 and Council bullets I loaded for him. He said those bullets hammered the hogs with good exit wounds. Some were shot in the head and neck, others thru the chest. All were DRT, now hanging in the cooler.
Ralph said his bullets perform well on critters. Guess he was right. They are super accurate.

My only 223 is a 110 Savage and though I'm not sure of the twist,it is very accurate.............

Biggie - "I'm not sure of the twist... My only 223 is a 110 Savage" Are you serious? Not sure of the twist...you raked me over the coals because I KNEW the twist of my RAR .22/250 was 1:10 BUT you (and others) would not believe it. Gimme a break...DC pol's may get away with that excuse BUT you? Homesteader

DF I decided to see if the 62 would shoot in the the 10" twist,(Barnes says it needs a 9")because one of the two deer we got last year with the 22-250, stopped a 53 tsx(loaded slow)at about 40 yards. I shot her quartering away,bedded,and the bullet lodged in the shoulder joint on the far side. recovered 53 gr tsx no exit my sons was a little high,but effective. exit I think the step up to the 62,and another 300 fps ,should be even more effective.

The 62 does nice things,even at a 3750fps launch...............
