[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2724141, member: 313"] My brother has a Savage 12 BVSS in .223. It is supposed to have a 9 twist barrel but it carefully measures out to be 8.5". With that said, it shoots very well with Sierra 69gr HPBT, Sierra 77gr HPBT and Sierra 77 TMK bullets. We shoot the rifle at 400yds and the bullets could probably shoot much farther while maintaining stability. I've got some Hornady 80gr ELD-M bullets but just haven't had a chance to try them yet. The 80gr bullets would be pushing the stability issue IMO. [/QUOTE]
