[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 152938, member: 4785"] [b]Re: 8\" or 9\" Twist for .223 ?[/b] Hi get an 8 twist if you can the 8 twist will stabalise 80gr match projectiles and some will stabalise the 90's. I have shot 50gr Blitzking out of a 223 with a 6.8 twist and they grouped under 1/2 moa at 200 yards so you are fine there. I have heard that the new Rem SPS Varmint has an 8 twist i think if it is true that could be an option and you could get a take off stock from anothe factory Remington for around $100 on the sites in either the Sendaro or Laminated pattern. The 9 twists will stabalise the 75gr A MAx, Hornady 75gr HPBT Match and all the Sierra's up to the 77gr MAtchKings so their are plenty thrtr to use. I have shot the 75gr HPBT's to 1000 yards in the 223 and they shoot well. They grouped seccond to the 80gr Sierra's at 1000 yards. In the 6.8 twist i have shot .230" high groups at 300 yards .800" wide and under 6" 5 shot groups at 1000 yards with under 4" elevation. Hope it helps Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
