View attachment 1047003 View attachment 1047001 As a “rookie” I’m starting my quest to put together a sub MOA .223 rifle/scope combination for varmint (eastern groundhog ) and prairie dog shooting. Realistic shots probably won’t exceed 500 yds. Rather than use old mixed head stamp range brass that I acquired with a Dillon reloader, I purchased some new Lapua brass from Brownells. They had a sale going on for bullets so I purchased some Berger match grade 55 gr . When they arrived I saw the box labeling says “For 1 in 14” Twist or Faster.” I also notice the BC is only .262 which is less than optimal (?)
The rifle I’m loading for is a Savage 10T which has a 24” 1:9 twist barrel. I don’t recall any info in the Brownell’s product information that stated the twist rate preference for thes bullets. I suppose I should have done more research and gotten on the Berger website before ordering.
I would really like to try to make this rifle a real tackdriver. Will I be handicapping myself by using these bullets ? If not - great. If so, what bullet(s) should I look at ?
Thanks in advance
