1-9 Twist in a 223?
« on: September 15, 2009, 09:49:06 AM »
Hey guys, someone refresh my memory.  I have a Remington sps tactical 223 with a 1-9 twist.  What would be my best bet grain wise in a 223 bullet form best accuracy? Thanks in advance.

Only your rifle can answer that question for you. It should shoot from 40 grains to at least 60/65 based on twist rate alone but what will work in it is like any and all other guns you have to try them and see what yours likes.

Thanks Bill.  I can never keep that twist rate information straight for some reason.  I am gonna try to run some different types through it this weekend.  Have a nice day. :)

This is what I've got out of my 700 SPS Tactical:

69gr SMK with 25.5gr Reloader 15 in LC '08 brass and a CCI SR primer at 2.280 C.O.L. has given me an average of .543 MOA at 100yds for 4 groups of 5 shots each.

68gr Hornadys with the same as above but 25.5gr Varget average .658 MOA

I can't get the 75gr A-Max to stabilize for crap out of my barrel, others have had good luck.
