    This is a 1 in 7 twist barrel though. I was under the impression they liked a little heavier (longer) bullets.
    Certainly, but for 600 or 700 yards I've heard the 55 or 62 gr. gets better accuracy. I don't have the experience myself since even with a scope I have a hard time seeing out that far. I have been considering the .223 Wylde for my next build, we'll see.

    55g bullets are getting tight groups. Her's is a 1:7 twist too.
    Sounds great. Already have some on the shelf.
    Ditto on the eyes.
    I'll post something after I get it & shoot it a bit.

    nice find. Added a 3 buck castle nut to hit the 100 mark so 4.6 a round.

    2K rounds shipped was 92.97 with the nut.


    Now I am ready for the Dems to take over and make my retirement plan kick in as a neckbeard.

    Very cool!

    Just an FYI to anyone else, it will allow the coupon to work for just under $100
