1 in 12 twist 223 barrel accuracy?
« on: March 14, 2006, 02:26:24 PM »
Are any of you getting minute of angle accuracy from your Handi in .223 with 1 in 12" twist barrel using 63 grain or heavier bullets?  I've shot pigs with 70 grain Barnes reloads but from a Mini-14 at 50 feet, want a decent accurate long range load for the small wild goats here but not confident with 55 grain bullets.  Your input is appreciated.

The only 2 bullets that I've seen any reports on here are the 63gr Sierra #1370 and the 64gr Winchester PP, both have decent accuracy in the 1:12" .223 barrels.
