60g NP

remingtonman_25_06 · Nov 23, 2005

I was just wondering if anyone has shot the 224" 60g NP out of a 1 in 14" 22-250 or 220 Swift. I was thinking of trying them, but my Swift is a 1 in 14" and I was thinking you need a 1 in 12". But I was thinking that since the Swift shoots a little faster, that I could get by with the 1 in 14" Thanks for any replys.

You may want to try them, with the extra velocity of the Swift, but I would not expect great groups.

In my 14 inch twist 22-250 the groups were rather dismal, to say the least. I had high hopes for this bullet, but in my gun it shoot poorly. In fact, it shot lousy groups in my 1 in 12 inch twist 223 Remington as well. Just gave up on them and gave them away, no way I could shoot them and expect to hit anything.

They shoot very well in my 1 in 14" 22-250.

They are shorter than the 55 gr Ballistic tips so if your rifle shoots those bullets well it should do OK with the Partitions.

I didnt have much luck either in my 14 twist 22-250 but who knows Im sure they work great in a lot of guns just not mine.

my Ruger Target Swift loves the 55g BT bullet. SHoots .3's at 100, 5 shot 2 inch groups at 300. Hopefully it will shoot them decent. I will just have to try them out. Thanks for the replys.
