1-8” .223 with 75 ELDM at 2934 fps. Kills varmints at 650, puts holes in paper past 1000, incredibly economical.

There’s zero reason not to go faster twist and shoot 88’s, unless looking for a factory rifle.
Would you be mostly limited to that one bullet if your chamber/throat was designed to optimize the shape of the 88?
And what about jacket performance with a 1 in 6 twist? Or would the .223 not push them fast enough for that to be a concern?
We’ve been shooting 50-90’s in 1-7’s for years. I haven’t had anything fly apart. Heard the lighter skinned Hornady SXS won’t hold up but the rest has been fine.
