Thread: 1:8 vs 1:12 in 223

I have two 223 a 1:12 zastava and a 1:8 ruger. Both shoot the 62 grain belmont very well but anything heavier doesn't go too well in the slow twist.
Probably the most effective bullet I have found is the 55 grain Sierra hpbt. Within 200 yards its astonishing.
It has taken red and fallow, pigs, lots of goats and wallabies plus the odd rabbit and hare. They are getting spendy now for bulk shooting but are cheap when you want something you can rely on to bring home the bacon, venison, etc
