64gr PP won't stabilize in 1:14 - 11/09/15
I grabbed some 64gr Winchester Power Point bullets the other day after reading that they make a great deer bullet and "usually" stabilize in 1:14 twist barrels. Well, they don't in my .22-250 LVSF. Had two loads to test today and I couldn't keep them on paper. The first clue should have been when although my scope was zeroed with some 50gr Vmax, the 64gr PP weren't on paper. I thought at first that they just had a very different point of impact and was finally able to get the first one on paper after making over 12" of adjustment on the scope. The following shots were still off paper!?!? At the next ceasefire I was able to examine my target, that only bullet that actually hit the paper went through sideways. Guess I'll have to find another deer capable bullet for my .22-250.
