Gents,
Is anyone using the Nosler .224-52 grain Competition bullets in a .22-250 Remington?
I've got a 700 VLS and a Ruger No.1 I was thinking of trying them since SPS had blems on sale.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Soup,
I had the same rifle. The 1:14 twist shot the 50 gr BT lights out. The 55 gr BT took some work but I got it to shoot. The 64 gr BSB also was a shooter.
It boils down to bullet length. Check the length of the 52 gr Competition bullet. I think it should be shorter than the 50 gr BT and should shoot just fine.

If you’re worried about twist , you should be fine. Nosler shows 1:14 on their 50-53 grain bullets.
The 64 gr BSB also was a shooter.
Great bullet for the 22-250 for deer.
