First post on this forum, so hello everyone.
I'm looking at getting a 223 bolt action for working on my shooting technique. Currently have a 270 and it's a bit hard going after 20 rounds at the range.
- will mainly be used at the range and maybe a bit of varmint shooting
- keeping ammunition cost down is part of what i'm after too, so will be reloading
- I've heard that its good to try and get a faster twist rate for stabilizing heavier projectiles (62gr etc), like 1:8 or 1:9 vs 1:12, true or BS?
- what about a heavy varmint type barrel? is it worth the extra $$ or just go with regular barrels. is the accuracy potential that much better vs a well worked up handload on a regular barrel?
appreciate any comments.
