A Ruger .22-250 is 1:14 twist, are there even any bullets/ammo available that are suitable for medium game that will stabilize in a twist that slow?
I always fall back to Dan Lilja's chart to get a general idea of what will work, and it says 50-52 gr for 1:14 twist, but isn't 55gr as heavy as you can really go in a factory .22.250?
True, but using equal weight bullets really makes the test meaningless. You want a meaningful test, use the best for caliber in each.
That is like saying my Honda Civic is as fast a your Porsche 911, so pull two spark plug wires and we will race.
