Greetings all. Okay, here's another .223 question for y'all- I have a 1:12 twist barrel on my Howa 1500 bolt action, will that stabilize a .62 grain round?
Everything I can find on the web sez "No." So I started doing some research on barrels, thinking perhaps in a year or two I could get my Howa rebarreled with a faster twist. Lo and behold, on Shilen's website http://www.shilen.com/calibersAndTwists.html they show/offer the following-
" - 12: for bullets up to 63gr."
Now if anyone knows what they're talking about I'd think it would be Shilen. So, what's the consensus? Will a 1:12 work (Accurately) with a .62 grain round?
I hesitate to buy any only to find out they just keyhole as I've nothing else to shoot them in. Thanx.
Cheers,
Mark
