Great thread.
I just bought a new .223 25 Savage Walking Varminter with a 1:9 twist. So Far I have worked up very accurate Loads up to the 62 Gr Barnes TTSX . I shoot Ground hogs, coyotes and deer. I think I may just stand pat with with the 53 Gr Sie HP Match for varmints and keep the 62 GR Barnes for deer. Both loads shoot consistently just less than MOA. I am also very happy with the 6.9 lb weight of the rifle.

Bullet length more of a twist factor than weight.

I load 60 grain Partitions for deer and either 60 grain AMax or BTs for coyotes in my 1-9" and 1-10" ROT 223s AND 22-250s.
