What loads are you shooting and what kind of groups are you getting with yours at 100 yards?

Thanks for the help.

My .223/20 Combo .223 barrel does best with Winchester 45 grn HP (Econo Box), 3/4" @ 100 yards (3 shot groups). 55 grn. surplus (Win) opens up to 1 1/2". Anything heavier than 55 grns. will not stablize in the 1 in 12" twist barrel. The new heavy barrel .233 has a 1 in 9" twist to take advantage of heavier bullets.
