    since the rifle is a bolt gun, why not try out the 90gr sierras.

    10mm. Because .45ACP just doesn't cut it anymore. <Trailerparktrash>

      I just took a peek at the Remington site (because 90 grain .224 bullets sound like a ton of fun) and noticed that the SPS stainless in 223 is only offered with a 1 in 12 twist (probably too slow for those long bullets) but the SPS Tactical is available in 1 in 9.

        It's not a typo, thats a varmint twist. Most varmint guns are meant to shoot a light bullet fast ie. The 36gr varmint grenade bullets. Even A 1:9 wont stabilize that heavy of a bullet at such low velocities. Theres a chart somewhere that shows bullet stabilization for 1:9 and 1:7 twists. I believe a 68-69gr will only be marginally stable at subsonic velocities for a 1:9, so if you really wanna do this, you'll want a 7" twist
