Default 221 with heavy bullets....

I have been really happy with the performance of the 60 grain V-max in my CZ 527 221 Fireball and was wondering if a re-barrel with faster twist and more free-bore to shoot 75 A-maxes would be worth it. This would be a second rifle project. Anyone have experience with the 221 and heavy bullets? Seems the cartridge would be similar sizewize to a 256 MAG. Bullet ballistics favor the 224 75 A-max over the 257 75 V-max,
but I wonder how bullet expansion would be at these velocities (2300-2500fps). Just thinking...But would like to hear others' thoughts.
Thanks,
Bill
