I may try to deal him out of it then.He was asking about a Remington 7600 I have,but I hope he understands I can't trade even..I may just try to buy it from him if he don't want to give me fair boot ..I almost ordered them same bullets for my 223,but bought a couple boxes of 63 gr Sierra SMP instead because I found them in town.They are pretty stubby and would probably shoot just fine in a slow twist,but I would like to go as heavy as possible to take advantage of the 22-250s capacity.
Nosler makes heavy and TUFF for exactly that, I'm not sure how easy they are to find or the retail on em, but you should check em out! 64 gr bonded solid base. They list 1:14 twist on it so even if you have the slow twist you'll still be cookin. They show blc2 getting accuracy at 3300. Just found these recently and they get great reviews from what I can find. Sierra also shows a 63 smp for all twists. Hornady offers a 60 gr hp, Speer's 70 was tested by hodgdon in a 14 twist but guesstimate 3200 fps at 75degrees Fahrenheit and JBM puts you at 1.020 for stability and you should be trying for at least 1.3 and I personally aim for at least 1.6 or better so that 10degrees or colder hunting conditions don't cause it to go all wonky before it hits the target.
Depends on how used it is and how good of friends you two are, brand new no scope I see tags for $369 (multiples of 3 anyone?). New savage axis runs about $350. Thoughts to think about. If you do pick one up and get a good load going, let us know how it goes!
I have little doubt I could get it from him now,and have a lot less in it,because he is wanting a 243 for his boy,and I just got a 2 week old 243 axis with bipod,cheap scope,and sling yesterday for cheap($415 for it,and a HandiRifle).I thought about calling him,and trading,but Even though the Axis is less of a gun than the 110 style Stevens,I would rather have the 243 caliber..So I'm on the fence,but will probably keep the 243..
