The NEF site does not give the rifling twist on the .223 barrel, does anyone here know what it is ?
Thanks, Don

.223 rifling twist

It has been 1 in 12 inches for some time I guess; which is enough to stabilize bullets weighing up to 60 gr' -- such as the Hornady spire points.
I've used them out of my Handi' with Bl-C(2) powder in handloads doing very well.    

Good caliber; good rate of twist; good accuracy in the ones I've seen.

Take care.

I have a .223 Handi that I just recently found a great load for the Sierra 63gr. SP using IMR 4895.

It will hold the 63gr'ers to .800 groups consistently.
