[QUOTE="johngibbs222, post: 1570131, member: 49619"] Thanks for that, I don't know what the twist rate is but, as the gun was assembled in 1982, just a couple of years after the introduction of the 5.56 there's a chance that maybe ruger fitted fast twist barrels. Anyway for the sake of about $12 for 20 it's worth a punt to see if they are stabilised in my barrel. Over here in the UK the 223 is regarded as [I]THE [/I]caliber for foxes. We also have some pretty small deer about the size of a labrador dog, muntjac and also similarly sized chinese water deer that the caliber is legal for here. I have a problem in that I was in an auto accident that left me with a badly torn rotator cuff injury on my right shoulder, also one of my eyes is not so good so I can't swap shoulders so I have to use light recoiling guns. I've got a hunt planned with a view to culling some muntjacs that will probably take place late april or may this year to top up my freezer with deer meat as these little critters are highly rated for the flavour of their meat. Also the caliber is legal for Roe deer in scotland [/QUOTE]
