I got a great deal on a VSSF barrel about the time my 17 Remington burned out the barrel so I sent it off to Dave to work his magic. It shoots great with the light bullets, but the VSSF barrel is a 12 twist so it does best with the light bullets. Tried some 55's in it and it shot okay, but the 40's shoot very, very well in it and the few coyotes and chucks I've shot with it were a sight to behold... works great for target work also...

One of these days I'm going to build a fast twist 223 just to see what the fuss is all about. My AR is a fast twist and it shoots pretty well with the 40 grain BT's I have loaded for it, but the next loads are going to be 53s and 55s just to see what it will do. I think I have a pretty good stash of them to use up now...

Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
