.223 WSSM and my Son

Great pics! Fast 22 cals are a lot of fun. I'm working with a Savage 22-250 AI and I'm wanting to try 62 gr TTSX out on WY does this fall. October can't get here soon enough!
 
I know that feeling!!! My daughter still reluctant to pull the trigger, my son is ready but has not got the right opportunity--but my nephews have no problem--shooting my bucks..I'm 42 and I've only shot 3 bucks in excess of 150 B&C...looks like your little men are well on their way to big trophy rooms!
 
4400fps is pretty cool but if I was building one I would order a 7" twist. We just finished a 22x47 Lapua with a 7" twist running an 85g Hammer Hunter at 3400fps. You would be able to run faster than that. We have not fully tested this bullet but it is looking great and shoukd be added to the website very soon.

Do you think it'll stabilize in an 8 twist at 22-243 speeds?

I have some 64's here to try out next week.
 
I hammered a bunch of them with a 220 swift some 20 odd years ago. That gun was a slayer! But alas times got hard and we parted ways. I am curious about that wssm tho. I had a model 70 in 25wssm. It had chambering issues and factory rounds were really high pressure. Primers were flat and and case heads were shiny with alot of wear for 1 shot. I let mine go because a fella with more money than common sense wanted it more than I did. Just curious if you notice the same in the 223wssm.
