May be about to drop the hammer myself beretzs, could be a fun project of sorts.
DF, thanks, good to know 8 twist will stabilize 80, was hoping it would keep the 77 gr scenars spun up tight.

gunner, not only does it stabilize 80's, it shoot them slightly tighter than 75's.
Those 77 Scenars should be tack drivers in a good 8 twist.
I don't have a Tikka, but hear good things about their barrels.

Many Thanks DF, I have some plastic that may need exercising, if the fuggers haven't shut them down again for non-use. Hoping the little 77's hold up well enough on deer, know good and well the scirocco's beretzs mentioned would.

gunner, Pat loves Scenars, as you know. But, IIRC he's using heavier, larger caliber bullets, not sure if he's killing stuff with .224's. I once (only once) shot a WT with a 6mm 90 gr. Scenar at .240 speed. Big mess, swore off those in the Wby. Now, they may do fine in a .243. It's an art, matching bullet construction with velocity. The 75 gr. SSII is a good bullet. Those can be a bit COAL sensitive like VLD's. I've used Berger protocol for optimal COAL, works with SSII's just like VLD's. Once you have the optimal COAL, you're good to go. But, a .22-250 isn't going to push a 77 gr, 80 gr. bullet at warp speed. At around 3K fps, I think an 80 gr. A-Max or VLD will perform pretty well, shouldn't blow up at that speed. For sure, the SSII won't. DF

Thanks for all the info DF, I really appreciate it, gotta get my head unjiggled on trying to go long with a 22 instead of 300 mags and big 33's.

The big slugs will definitely have more wallop at distance than the little ones. But those high B.C. .22's are impressive. DF Ed. for spelling..

If I'm going to go with big heavyweights I might as well go with a 6mm. I'm looking at a 62 TTSX for an all around bullet.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!

With the 6mm, the discussion changes to 8 twist and 105's, although your combo will be effective. A fast TTSX is a killer. I really like 100 gr. TTSX's in my .257R at 3,250 fps over max H100V loads. Gunner says, that load is a "little buzzsaw". He got that right... DF
