[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 414930, member: 2736"] Now that I have completed most of the builds in the back log I intend to do some more testing with My 223 WSSM to find what it is capable of. So far I have exceeded 4400 ft/sec with the 40 grain Ballistic tip and 3900 ft/sec with the 69grain bullets and have seen no signs of pressure. Mine is a 1 in 15 twist 3 grove and it shoots very well . I have not tried any thing 70+grains but if you want to shoot the larger bullets the 1 in 12 should work fine in the 223 WSSM. Also I have not tried the 35 grain bullets yet but I intend to soon, I like the 22/250 and recomend it. but if you want a realy flat round in a factory loading then the 220 swift or the 223 WSSM would be the choice for me. Barrel life is not much difference in these cartriges so go with what you want. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
