rifle twist

broncbuster69
Is there anyway i could determine the twist of my .22-250? Its not a factory rifle, so i cant look at a website. I bought it from a friend of mine that didnt know much about it. Its not really important that i know. I am pretty sure that i can figure a load out for it without knowing, but its one of those curiosity things.

    12 to be sure with the 60s.
    14 has stabilized 50-55 grain bullets for about 75 years.

    The lighter shorter bullets will stabize just fine at the faster twist for the longer bullets.
    But they may come apart due to their lighter construction if hotrodded.

    I would go for a 1:10 twist.

    I'm with Hawk on the 1-12 twist for the bullets you want to use.
    The 1-10 will be too fast for a 40gr.
    My 1-14 700 varmit that we reamed out from a 222 to 223 puts 40-52's in about 3/8in. My Tikka 1-12 will do the same with up to 62gr's.
