Thanks for that info, exactly what I was (or wasn't) wanting to know. Anyone else have experience with the larger bullets with the 1:9 twist? May just have to experiment a bit if I can find some different roundsThat 1:9 twist might not cooperate with all of the heavy bullets. When you get into the high 60 to 70 grain bullets you might need a little faster twist.
Thanks duck! Just had a scope come in. Once it's mounted I'll keep him shooting til he has good groups, then I'll try a "deer round" and adjust from there. Probably have to order online or see if Dunham's in Columbia has some ammo. Walmart in Lewisburg had 3 boxes of 308 today, that's 3 boxes more than I've seen the last 2 times I've checked. Those were the only rounds…handgun, rifle, shotgun…. that they had.Gronk no worries for you. my daughter (70 lb 12 year old) uses a savage axis 223 with I think 55 grain soft points in monarch from academy. I was on the fence about the 223 but as little as she is that's what I wanted her to try. At 100 yrds she's within a 3 inch group so I am very confident in her shooting. With that being said I let her make her own decision if she wanted neck shot shoulder or vitals so her favorite spot is base of neck at the shoulder they haven't went past 30 yrds yet. I've got several guns but light recoil and cheaper ammo I bought me a winchester model 70 in 223 they are deadly.
Thx again guys
