I found out the Handi rifle barrel I was interested in is a 1-14 twist
will this work with a 60 grain Partition in 22 caliber? If not what
weights are best?
 
They shoot just fine in my M70 Winchester with 1 in 14" barrel and group almost as well as the 55 grain Ballistic Tips.

I am getting ~ 3400 fps out of my 22" barrel and have found them to be a very good bullet for wolves.
 
They did in the two Rem 700's I had. They don't in some 1:14 barrels. You will just have to try some in yours. I use the 60 gr. Partitions in my Savage 22-250 and they group at .75", but that is a 1:12 twist.

Good Hunting,

Bob
