Nice, show some targets. My 1 in 14" twist Tikka shoots that bullet unbelievably well. As does my Stevens 200 in a 1 in 12" twist and 1 in 14" twist Winchester XTR featherweight. Hornady and others say that bullet won't work/stabilize in a 14 twist rifle, but don't tell that to mine!!!!

I was fn around with that rifle back in February to get it prepared for a long range varmint silhouette match and it was definitely up to the task. Rifle and load did everything I could ask of it.
