[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1476233, member: 2736"] I have been busy with other rifles, But my friend has been working with the 223 Wilde with a 1 in 8 twist to see if it would shoot 30 or 36 grain bullets without destroying them. The normal twist for 55 grain bullets or less is 1 in 12 or 14 so we weren't sure that the 1 in 8 would work at all. Today we tested both weights (30 and 36 grains) and reached 3800 ft/sec with the 36 and 4080 ft/sec with the 30 grain without pressure signs so it looks good for the 223 AI. Accuracy was very good, and with some tweaking should be better. there were no signs of jacket separation with any of the loads so I guess my gut feeling and the consensus that 1 in 8 twist it to fast must be wrong. More to come J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
