22-250 Barnes 53 gr triple shocks
Anyone reloaded these? how was your accuracy...I'm concerned about stablizing it since it must be longer due to no lead core... I have a standard 1:14.

Anyone tried these? Or, does anyone know the bullet overall length?

Not sure. But just shot today, my first trial with a box of 50 Gr Barnes Varmint Grenades thru an AR with 1 / 9 twist and they went thru the paper target sideways! These bullets were given to me since they couldn't stabilize them in his rifle with 1/14 twist.
Maybe they need 1/7? |

I agree w/ the too fast twist...however, the tripple shock is a solid copper, which will be longer since there is no lead core. Has anyone used these? I have a 1:14 on my 22-250. A friend loaded some in his 222, and got 2" groups. I was thinking about using them, and was hoping I could get better results w/ the higher velocity the 22-250 generates. If I could get them around 1-1.5" I'd probably load them.

Sorry to highjack your thread!
These 50gr Varmint Grenades are very long for their weight. The box has a sticker saying 1/10 or tighter recommended. They are fragile at the hollow tip and my seating die was indenting a "ring" in them. This is in a New Hornady die with the follower in it. Maybe I need to do some modification to this follower? Any suggestions on the proper way to seat these bullets without damage? They were loaded with 26gr & 27gr of Varget. CCI 42 Primer in LC brass. |
