223 Rem, 20 inch tube, takes 6.5 twist to stabilize. Can shoot down to 52/53 in it also, with a few varmint jacket exceptions at times...

Of course larger round is more speed etc.... I wished I recalled, there were some folks shooting out of 22/6mm many moons back, no clue what twist... I was thinking that 8 might have sufficed but 7 certainly would.

7 in my setup is marginal, gives nice groups, but slightly oblong barely noticeable holes at 300 yards already....


I shot 90 grain Berger VLDs from a Brux 8 twist 22-6mm. They stabilized fine.
