[QUOTE="jaredagreen, post: 270536, member: 16619"] I recently purchased a thumbole stock Howa 1500 with a bull barrel in .223 caliber. I am trying to figure out what all size bullets I can shoot through it. Someone told me that it depens on the twist of your barrel but I cannot find this information anywhere. I'm not sure if I can shoot 55 gr, 75 gr, or what. Can you guys please help me out! Does anyone know what twist my barrel is? I found somewhere online that it is 1 in 12" twist....can anyone verify? If it is 1 in 12", what size bullets can I shoot? In addition, can you give reccommendations on what the most accurate cartridge and/or bullet has been for you. I would like to begin reloading in the future so I'm trying to figure out what would might be the best place to start. Any information is appreciated. Thanks, Jared [/QUOTE]
