[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 548747, member: 24624"] Some rifles are pretty forgiving and shoot most loads fairly well. Others are very particular. The advantage of handloading is that you can work up a custom load by testing a couple of rounds for each change to a control variable without spending a fortune. With factory ammo, you have to buy a whole box at a time which costs money and barrel life. With a 1:11" twist, I'd probably try stepping down to 165gr before stepping up to 200gr. But, 200gr is borderline and may work depending on seating depth, powder, MV, etc. Don't forget that the all copper bullets are longer for a given weight and usually require the same twist as the next heavier lead jacketed bullets. -- richard [/QUOTE]
