1 an 14 twist 22-250

My 22-250 has a 1-14 twist do this mean not to use 60 or 70 gr bullets or will it shoot them well.I was told only a 1-10 will shoot them good.thanks

You can try heavier bullets in a 1-14 barrel but chances are you'll find the accuracy will suffer.

I have a 22-250 with a 1-12 and I find it only shoots 40gr and 50 gr bullets well. Anything over 55gr is a waste of money for me.

my Rem 700 BDL had a 1:14" twist. shot 55gr BT's into .5" regularly

a 14 twist would be marginal at best with anything heavier than 55 grain. My 14 twist shot 40 grain VMAX the best, and my 12 twist liked 52bthp best
