[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2580091, member: 116181"] No necroposting comment since OP came back and said it's ok haha 🤣 I shoot a 223 AI, I'm getting some Hammer 35gn HHs to try to run super fast out of my 7 twist barrel. [USER=60545]@Zen Archery[/USER] is getting 5000+ FPS from his 17 Stinger with Hammers so the bullets should hold up, but not sure if the twist rate is going to give me dispersion or not. [USER=25377]@orkan[/USER] runs a 20-223 AI so he would know for sure, but on paper the case capacity seems to be ~32.5gn, very close to the 204 Ruger which IIRC is ~33gn? That will probably be my next small bore barrel if I manage to kill this 223 (more likely I get bored and buy a whole new rifle first🤦♂️). Seems like an interesting alternative to get 40* shoulders in the .204 bore. Mine is a 26" Rem varmint on a Defiance action in a Foundation stock. It's a a sweet little rifle. You didn't happen to have a Ford 6.0 do you? [/QUOTE]
