[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 1370342, member: 9172"] So, GordO .... by your own admission, you have never tried a 55 Balistic tip or a 53 VMAX out of a 14 twist, so you have no idea. What you have done is quote some balisitic chart off of the internet. I mean, hell, if you saw it on the internet...... I have shot no less than 6 different 14 twist .224 tubes that shot the plastic tipped 53/55 grain bullets accurately, and only one...the last one I tried, that did not. I agree...if you are planning on shooting the longer bullet, plan on building a faster twist. BUT, if you walk out of the gun store with a shiny new .224 with a factory 14 twist, at least give the plastic tipped 55 gn class bullets a try. MILLIONS have done it sucsessfully...probably because they have never heard of Litz...they didn't know any better NOT to try! I know Litz is GOD in the shooting world...and to me too, but everything is not gospel when it comes to shooting. [/QUOTE]
