thoughts on fast twist 22s

i have #vt in 220 swift that has had a few thousand rounds through it and will be ready to rebarrel in another few thousand.

what i was thinkin was going with a fast twist, 1/7 0r 1/8 in either the standerd 220 or 220ackley 40deg shoulder. bullets would be berger vlds 70, 75, 80 and 90gr vld. the 90 gr bullet has BC of 517(115vld .257 is .523) i may also dable in the heavy seirras the 75gr sirroco and the heavy barnse triple shocks

catfish has built 22/6mm. im undecided on these bigger cased 22s i dont know that the couple hundred exstra feet is worth burning the exstra powder. kinda lookin for his thoughts on its affectiveness over the 220swift case aswell as possibly barrel life.

ill probly just get stainless barrel matching rugers #vt taper fairly close alittle bigger is better in the super match grade. maker could be hart pacnor shilen douglas. pretty much all of them make outstanding barrels

but these are just thoughts as i do still have a thousand rds or so to think about it

thanks

Evan
