243 Twist for 55 or 60 grain bullets?
« on: October 27, 2006, 02:50:20 PM »
Anybody shooting a Handi with 55 or 60 grain bullets?  Accuracy?  Ballistics?

Going to gunshow tomorrow...so I will be looking.

I've tried the 58gr and 65gr Vmax, but never found a good load yet, Mitchell shoots the 55gr CT bullets, gets fantastic accuracy.
