[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1612628, member: 108965"] I have a some bullets in .224 caliber that I will be using on a 223 Rem bolt action rifle. These bullets are mostly light weight varmint and match bullets that need a slow twist rate, but I want to be able to use higher weight bullets like let's say a 70gr Accubond or maybe a 60gr partition or even a 60gr to 68gr monolithic bullet. I want to get this rifle mostly for my son to shoot all of these bullets as mostly practice rounds and then I'll buy some higher weight bullets for him to hunt deer and javelina. From what I've read a 1 in 9" would be the best option. I believe Ruger makes the RAR and I believe Savage does also make rifles with this twist rate. I already have the rifle options pretty much narrowed down but need advise on the best twist rate option for this situation so I can make sure I get the right one. Thank you in advance for your help with this and best regards [/QUOTE]
