[QUOTE="Millbrooke, post: 1069196, member: 89751"] Hi, I have a sako varmint 22-250 with a 1:14 twist rate heavy barrel. I used to use factory federal premium ammo with the 50 gr Barnes x bullet through this rifle with good results, but this is no longer available in New Zealand. I have also used the Hornady superformance 50gr with reasonable results (just under MOA). I did find some 6o grain hornady custom but this shoots pretty rough as it just doesn't like the slower twist rate. Factory ammo supply is inconsistent so I'm looking to start reloading, hence I'm looking for a good projectile for light game hunting/varmint hunting. I have looked at GS custom, Barnes and Berger.....but they do not have a reasonable suitable for 1:14 twist. Can anyone help with any suggestions for a good projectile that shoots well, and kills well that would suit a 1:14 twist? Any load data would be greatly appreciated as well. [/QUOTE]
