Dekers Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Takes some beating 1 in 8 twist loves 50gr V Max never had a fox complain yet... I may have missed it but I think that is the first response that makes any mention of twist. Tikka/Sako can't seem to make their minds up over 1-8 or 1-12 for their .223's, mine is 1-8 and frankly it can handle everything from 40-75g exceptionally well. It is fed factory 55g SP and generally 50g Ballistic Home Brews for field work! These work exceptionally well and shot consistantly Orange at 600 yards at Bisley during a test!

ostrea Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) I have had the Super varmint 223 1 - 12 twist now for a few months brilliant rifle settled on v max 55g as that seems very consistent results, just got all the reloading gear so hope to have a go at reloading my own over next weekend.
