I have two Bushmasters, an M4gery and a Varminter, plus a Savage 12 with 1:9" barrels, and my wife has a matching Savage 12. These 4 rifles have shot thousands on thousands of 50grn Vmax's. Never have been able to spin one apart even with. A 7.7" twist, let alone the 1:9". Personally, I'd slate the 50's as ideal for 1:9".
...I have never given much thought to the BC of the bullet(s) I was considering. This is because I was loading for ranges up to about 200-250 yards and...
I am glad for you! I also look forward to field results and longer range reports! (Hint hint go shoot more)I think I'll save my money! 50gr v max sub moa at 100yards.
Well I started with 22gr benchmark and cci450 primers seated about 15k off the lands and fired my first shot and it was 3" high 2" left so I fired #2 and it hit 2" high 1.5 left so I said what the hell!? sent the other 3 and they touched so I was happy. 22.3-22.6gr shot decent with 22.6 one ragged hole I could cover with a nickel. 23gr shot 2 right through the same hole but I had to stop cause someone came into the club. sent the next 3 and almost a large hole again but no luck. Sent 23.3 and wouldn't touch each other. It's looking like the hotter I go the more open they get. I sure hope that's not the case. If my 5 packs through 25gr outshoot the 55gr v max I'll be switching.I am glad for you! I also look forward to field results and longer range reports! (Hint hint go shoot more)
