cut the barrel to 18" for handgun hunting.
The 26" barrel ran a factory 55gr load at 3550 fps.
The 18" barrel ran the same 55gr load at 3250 fps, accuracy was not affected. The pistol load has worked fine on 1 hog and 1 turkey. In Texas you can shoot turkey with a centerfire cartridge in the fall deer season , mostly south and SW counties.

My question would be what is the twist rate (nm)
- Pacecars, 2025-02-09, 09:21
- 1 in 12 or 1 in 14 would work. I have built guns in - Gary Reeder, 2025-02-10, 16:02
- I built a 22-250 Improved for use with 65 grain bullets - Gary Reeder, 2025-02-10, 13:31
- I don't think they mess around with .22-250 rates - WB, 2025-02-10, 09:05
