[QUOTE="Mark37082, post: 2879653, member: 120066"] I guess that depends on the definition of “well”. The only .223 I have is a AR with 16” barrel. It is a blast to shoot, but it’s not what I would consider a precision rifle. Many times barrel twist rate dictates what you can feed a rifle. I have a 7RM in 9.5“ twist that shoots really well, but keyholes when I push the limits on long copper bullets. The 280AI with an 8” twist is not really finicky, but it is showing preferences (I guess due to harmonics) to certain bullets. I don’t get to hunt as often as I would like, so testing gets me to the range and shooting more often. Feenix - I wish there were more “good” GS’s in my area. Although, I have been bitten by the “while I’m there bug“ many times when I drive to MidSouth Shooters Supply. [/QUOTE]
