[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 780359, member: 35183"] I checked the Berger 55gr Varmint bullet (flat base) which is 0.75" long and at 3400fps is was just under 1 so unstable. At 3800fps it was 1.2 so marginally stable. It seems you would have to drive those bullets with a maximum load of the best powder (Hodgdon manual lists CFE 223 providing 3835fps at max). Finding a bullet with a shorter length or going down 1 step in weight should make things easier. [/QUOTE]
