I have a M700 VLS 22-250 with a 1:14 twist.
My go to load with the 50 gr BT is Varget but I couldn't get the 55 gr BT or 60 gr PT to shoot well.
I switched to RL 15 and both the 55 gr BT and 60 gr PT went under .5". I also tried the 60 gr BT and my group went 4.75" at 100 yds. This bullet is just too long for the 1:14 twist.
BTW, my new coyote bullet is the 60 gr PT. I shot a coyote at 70 yds dead center in the chest and the bullet exited about 2" below the tail. Pretty good penetration on a 30 lb coyote.
