CHW111 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 1 in 9 and 62 gr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackDog 1 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 mine shoots 50 grains the best, FAR better than any other grain bullet I have ever used. I just shot some 50 A-max's thru mine and they grouped nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Bob 0 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 1 in 9 and 62 gr. I think you're right on the twist, but you always have to try different ammo (different bullet weights) in every rifle. For example, I have an American-made bolt gun with a similar twist, and for some reason (don't ask me to explain it), it likes 50 gr. Federal 'plain-wrap' HP the best. (How lucky can you get?!? ;>) Go figure... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
