[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 225848, member: 2736"] T I am in the process of biulding a 223 WSSM and have done quite a bit of research and will post the results as soon as I get finished . This cartrige is so overbored that I was not interested in wildcating it. After deciding what bullet I wanted to use and the expected velocity I talked to several barrel makers and decided on a Lilja 3 groove with a 1 in 15 twist. I posted a thread on 3 groove barrels and got a lot of response (Good and Bad) . Barrel life is an issue but not a tie breaker. I also receved some good advice from kirby about what bullet to use. Hear is what I am going to use in it = A 40gr nos balistic tip @ 4400+ ft/sec I am currently using a 220 Swift with this same barrel and bullet @ 4200 ft/sec and I am very impressed, accuracy is less than .100'' and the barrel cleans up with just a few patches (3 or 4 and the copper is gone). So now I'm stepping it up and I hope the results will as good or better. We dont have the P dogs and muskrats in south texas but we do have Bob cats and coyotes so barrel life is not an issue. If you finish yours befor I do please post the results. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
