Geez, only shoots the light bullets well... That’s a bit discouraging. I guess I’ll find out with my old Ruger next weekend. Only ammo I got to try is 4 boxes 55gr plastic tip Winchester that I picked up on closeout , so that ought to give me an idea. And some 64gr mono’s that I wasn’t even going to try.

Oh well. We shall see. Usually takes me two or three tries to get it right anyhow. Probably get an 8 or 9 twist in the end if this one doesn’t do what I want. But I’m sure I’m on the right path with the .223 Rem.
