It's going to be a few weeks, but I'm going to pick up either some 90 gr SMKs or Bergers and single load them in my 22 Nosler with an OAL of 2.46 per the new Hodgdon data with H4350. I should be able to get close to 2700 based on the velocities they publish for other loads I've tried.
One thing is Sierra says the 90s need a twist of 1:6.5 and Berger says 1:6 for the VLDs and my 22N is 1:8. If a 224V barrel is optimized for 90s, it's going to make it a bit of a one trick pony since lighter bullets won't be able to handle the twist. Nothing wrong with that as I did a 1:7 on the 6mm Grrrrr barrel I ordered to stabilize the heavies at the expense of the lites, but the 224V will be even more magnified. There's a reason why there's a market for 1:14 22-250s.
Like BFT said, Grrrrr can do everything
Absolutely. My Remington VLSS, with its 1:14, can send 40 grain pills at 4000+ fps with laser-like accuracy to 500+ yards. It's the single most effective p-dog eradicator in my arsenal. Having said that, I still shoot my 6.5's ten times more often. Why? Utility - that's why. They will do what the 24" 22-250 can only imagine doing, especially at distance.
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
