How well did your 1-12 twist barrel shoot? If you are not planning to shoot anything bigger than 64 grains a 1-9 works pretty good. I did over spin some 55 gr. Hornady SX bullets a while back out of a 1-7. If your plan is under 300 yard target shooting and Coyotes then a 1-9 is just fine. I used 1-14 and 1-12 twist barrels for many years and didn't ever have a reason not to like them.
I shot some SpSX bullets out of a 1 in 8 twist 223 barrel...and they seem to not be hitting anything...
It was about 90+ degrees at the time, pulled the trigger on one, with my head looking over the scope, to see if the bullet was just coming apart. Pulled the trigger and the only way to describe the results, is out the barrel it looked like one's breathe on a 10 degree day, just like cold steam...
So I called up Hornady, told them what happened, and their response was that the bullet was designed fragile for varmints and could with stand up to 180,000 rpms... with the velocity it was moving out of my 1 in 8 twist barrel, he estimated that it was turning 360,000 rpms plus.... Well that certainly explains that puff I saw out the end of the barrel, even on a 90 degree day...
Did have some of those with me, when I was out by Applegate Reservoir, where it was very damp and foggy one day. The Reservoir is fairly isolated, surrounded by mountains and forest service land, so no houses around it either. I decided to stop and put a few rounds out across the water, with a mountainside back stop, 3 or 400 yds on the other side..
It was actually fun to watch. In the fog, you could easily see the bullet come out the barrel and come apart, and then watch the various parts zip off thru the fog and their paths for a good 50 yds... they didn't come apart, the bullet just exploded.
Parts flying up, down, east & west... gives one a good idea of what 'coming apart' really means...
it was exactly what you see when you watch a video of a jet hit by a missile and the plane just explodes...
