[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1399792, member: 63138"] I agree that an 8 twist is the way to go unless you want to go beyond 80 grains. I've got an 8 twist Brux also and I run the 80 grain match king (BC=0.461) with an SG = 1.51 at sea level. The first 3 shots ever fired with that bullet grouped 0.172" at 200 yards. Load development was basically done. Also I absolutely love the 53 grain VMAX in my 223 Rem for all the reasons mentioned above. I take both guns after Montana prairie dogs - having two guns helps keep you from melting barrels. Also let me make a comment about velocity - if you get into a pile of prairie dogs you really can melt a barrel and running 3,800 fps just makes that happen faster. Back down on the V. The dogs will still blow up just fine - burns less powder too. [/QUOTE]
