Well, I take part of it back. The online catalog shows Savage offers either a 12" or a 9" twist in .22-250, so maybe the long bullets go enough slower not to fly apart? That probably means you have to decide up front that you either want to shoot light bullets very fast or heavier bullets at less dramatic velocities. The slow twist won't stabilize the long bullets, and the fast twist will probably make the light bullets fly apart if you don't load them down to lower velocity than it is possible to achieve in that chambering.

So now I'm back to asking, what barrel twist rate does Tam have?
