Thread: Savage trophy hunter or Ruger american

I have put my name down for one of the Ruger American Rifle .223 Compact - These have a 1:8 RH Twist.
ReLoaders website had it listed as a 1:10 twist and when I checked with Dan he said he had listed it wrong.
As mentioned earlier; if you are new at this - don't use a .223 on deer.
Goats, Wallabies, Hares, etc are fine but unless you are extremely confident with bullet placement and know the anatomy of a deer well, It is recommended that you use a 243 or bigger.
I use a 7mm08 for deer and this new .223 will be for wallaby & goats.
I must admit there has been many deer taken with the .223 and I am not saying don't do it - Just think about the shot before you pull the trigger.
Just my thoughts
