[QUOTE="gonehuntingagain, post: 37079, member: 1206"] Usually a faster twist is better for heavy bullets. For example a .223 with a 1:12 twist will stabilize a 45gr bullet, but won't stabilize a 75 gr bullet well, a 1:8 twist will stabilize a 75gr bullet, but may be too fast for a 45gr bullet. Have you tried different brands/types of 180 gr bullets or different powders? What loads have you tried so far? [/QUOTE]
