Am not at all impressed with there quality but thought one with the 1-10 twist would make a nice beater and shoot a heavier bullets than my Sako with the 1-14. It should stabilize a 68-69 gr bullet. has anyone here tried one? A search was useless. thanks.
Ruger American in 22-250 with the 1-10 twist?
- Thread starter NB Rifles
- Start date
Just bought one,the stainless version, only had a chance to shoot 45g win white box. It was shooting MOA. Waiting for Cabelas to open to try some heavier TSX.
Check 24Hourcampfire. There's lots of 223 RAR shooters there. Not a 22/250, but a good start.
My Marlin X7 223 sporter has a 1:9" twist. Not fired yet, but heavier TSX will be coming for testing. Might look for one of those as well as I think the RARs are hard to find in Canada.

sum of the Browning x bolts are 1-10 twist now.
I've yet to play with any factory 1-10 .22-250's but a few friends have had their rifles fitted with them after market. All but one are reporting good accuracy with 69 grain SMK, and two have tried various 70-77 grain projectiles with varying returns, Hornady's seem to be promising and popular as are berger.
The Nosler partition seems to be a good shooting hunting load in the ones that are hunted with, as are Barnes although according to Barnes the 62 and heavier need a 1-9 so your rifle may or may not stabilize them. For the price and performance the 64 grain power points seem to be very good too, yes they vary a bit in bullet weight and won't give competition wining accuracy but almost every .223 or .22-250 we've loaded them for has shot 1.5" or better at 100 (most better) which is accurate enough to ruin a coyotes day out to around 300 yards. They seem to expand reliably but hold together and penetrate well.

Thanks for the offer BTW, I am going to check out the new Cabela's and look for something in the 60 to 70g range to reload. Should be fun.
I suspect unless they give in to regional demands they'll stock primarily what they carry on their website and other stores, so sadly no Nosler partitions for the .224 diameter actually I have found them lacking in .224 bullets as a general rule, but I am currently looking for something that holds together better than a varmint bullet.
Keep the fingers crossed!
