I have been weighing the idea of getting a quicker twist rate for my 10/22. With the Aguilla SSS 60gr rounds, the standard 1:16 twist is inadaquate, sending the bullet keyholing. I saw that Volquartsen offered some different and slightly faster twist rates for .22 LR, and wondered if anyone has some expertise in this field that could offer some guidance.
If I got a faster twist rate, say 1:14, 1:12, 1:10, 1:9, or 1:8, would it still stabilze the 40 grain standard velocity and high velocity loads?
I am looking to build a "tack driver" with which I may shoot the 60 grain OR the 40 grain loads with a good degree of precision. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
I have a Mossberg 144 in .22LR, with a twist rate that appears much faster than the standard 1:16. Looking down the bore looks more like an AR 15 bore than a regular .22 LR, but I can find no information on with what twist rate these accurate rifles were issued.
