gunner Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hi all , im using a 223 ackley and i recently tried some 55-SB-Kingz that shot pretty well , as its throated for 75 g - Amax i was a little surprised , i only tried 25 odd as thats how many i had left from my std 223rem days! So might it shoot the 40/50 SBKs ? before i go out and buy any ? Id like to try them to get a nice high fps for busting maggies ! Iv had a few ricochet with the heavier vlds , and allot of the time i won't can't take shots on corvids at certain farms because of safety worries . Any thoughts ?

Any thoughts ?[/quote As Gaz-worth a try,esp if you can get a few first.as you approach the usual boundaries for twists,performance is almost an individual rifle thing-some might be acceptable,even if a little less than optimal,others not;it's usually better to be going too light than too heavy. Berger bullets web site has a nifty program for giving an indication of stability,and tolerances-a guide,and near the cut offs its down to individual " suck it and see".

henryo Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 52gr A-Max accurate and very explosive out of a 7" twist at 3450 fps. Have used for head shooting rabbits for the pot out to about 200 yards. Results nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Y Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yes it will however I found if it was windy, those light bullets spinning fast do produce some occasional funny results. 100m groups were fantastic, but beyond that it wasnt as consistent as I would have liked. Would be better off with 55gr+ bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
