    I do get what a lot are saying about .223 new rounds and reloading the right barrel twist and its performance is improved but new hunters are limited to what is available in the shops

    Remington 700, Tikka T3, Sako 90, Howa Mini, Bergara are all available in 1:8 twist barrels and a Hornady 73gr ELDM factory load is available in NZ. Unfortunately no factory load is available at the moment with the 77TMK and most of the other good bullets are handload-only due to length, and require a longer magazine.

    That's the easy button if you don't handload. Handloading does unlock the full potential of the .223.
    Tahr, tikka and Dama dama like this.
