[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 169945, member: 313"] Comparing a .224 bore to the .308 bore is like comparing apples to oranges, or so the saying goes. In a .224 bore a 12" twist will "generally" limit you to a 55gr bullet depending on overall bullet length. Some 12" twist barrels won't even shoot the 55's very well. Velocity is another factor that affects a rifle's ability to stabilize a bullet in any particular twist but is has a much smaller influence on stability than rate -of-twist. Try some 52gr-53gr match bullets. [/QUOTE]
