I'm thinking of getting a Handi again after selling them all. How do you know the new Fast Twist Rate guns from earlier production models? I want to shoot heavy bullets in the 77-90 grain range.
Thaks Tacshooter! :sniper:
As far as checking the twist, I believe that was covered well.
The 1-9 is normally fast enough for the 68 & 69gr. bullets but I
doubt it would work well with the 77MK & I know it won't work at all with the 80-90 grain bullets.
I have a 1-8 RRA Varmiter that loves the 77MK & 75 Hor.OTM, but I believe you would need a 1-7 or faster for the 90.
6mmruger, it is indeed strange but I have seen that happen in other calibers too where a gun would not shoot the bullets that it should but do well with a lighter one than it should. Also consider that your gun may not like that particular bullet & it may not be a matter of twist at all, that happens alot. Have you
tried the 60Gr. Hor. Soft Point, it has qualities like the 64 Winchester & then for small Varmits you can switch to the 60V-Max with minimal adjustment. The 65GK is another.
