You dont need no gawddamn 1:8 twist to shoot a 40 grainer.
I own a 22-250 for one reason, and one only.......to shoot a 40 grain bullet as fast and as accurately as I can. If I want to shoot heavy bullets, I go with a 243.
The 22-250 gained it's popularity and reputation with bullets 55 grains and less. My heavy load for the 22-250 is a 52 grain bullet.
