[QUOTE="exabit, post: 700251, member: 39818"] I'm thinking about getting a Remington 700 Police 26" in 223 to get back to target shooting at the 300 meter range. I also want to be able to do some hunting with this rig and therefor I'm getting myself totally confused with the bullet selection. The largest critters will be roe deer (roughly 60 lbs on the hoof) along with red fox and various birds. I'm a bit stuck with the bullet selection as I'd like to use A-Max 75, but I don't think the twist can stabilize this bullet? And if it could, the stability factor will still be poor which might lead to unpleasant surprises in the terminal ballistics department. Will do mostly target shooting prone with bipod and thus practice for hunting applications at the same time. This means roe deer at 300 meters or maaaybe 400, but I'm not really sure about stretching it more than the 300 meter mark. I'd appreciate suggestions and preferably your own experiences with the 223 with [B]1:9" twist[/B]. (I have also thought about 243 Win but the standard twist will probably not stabilize the A-Max 105 so kind of the same problem there...) [/QUOTE]
