Barrel twist?

bobo,
I kind of doubt it. I tried the 68's out of my daughters and it didn't like them. Unfortunately they have a 1 in 12" twist and hers liked the 45 grain winchesters. I did however get it to shoot the 60 gr. nosler partitions from federal acceptable for hunting.

it will shoot the 60 grain Nosler Part. I tried shooting handloaded 70 Barnes Triple Shocks and they didn't do well. They shoot fine out of my kids Thompson Encore adn my other kids NEF.

I guess I'll stick to the 55 grains.

Are there any recommendations as far as a good bullet for a deer. I know that's difficult to answer when it's a .22...

60 grain Nosler do well/ also try 64 grain power point and see how they shoot/ I run different out of each gun/ Ive seen my kids put the smackdown on plenty of critters with a 223 over the last 4 years.
