Twist rates for long range 22lr

[565fitter]

I have a rimx on the way and currently shoot a vudoo. I have the factory ace barrel on my vudoo and a 1:16 bartlein for the rimx.

When the rimx is done I think I want rebarrel the vudoo to a faster twist barrel. I know there was talk of this earlier this year when cutting edge was going to release their bullets. What twist should I look at? I've seen talk of 7t, 9t, 12t, etc. I want an all around nrl22x/prs22 build, so I want close range performance as well as 300+yds.

I would get in touch with Vudoo and have a chat with them.

For the new solid bullets, you’re seeing 1-6” barrels being made. Mine is a bit faster than that and have a friend with the same and they still shoot lead respectably

I've heard 1:6 and 1:9 for the new solids; I wonder if anyone has seen any data on the effects of the higher twist rates?

Depends on which solids you want to run. The imaginary ones from Cutting edge, or the ones I worked with Badlands to make

 

[acourvil]

I’m not picky, data for either would be good. Are the Badlands solids available to purchase?

I have one more change I’d like to try before it’s finalized to be released to the public

Cool, looking forward to it. Are you using then Fedarm brass or have you found another source?

 

[Geno C.]

I’ve used FedArms and pulled ammo apart from different manufacturers also
