muckI tried some in my Win 70 heavy barrel varmint .223 rem 1 in 9" twist. I never found a load that was accurate enough form me. The best I could do was 1.5" groups (5 shots) at 100 yds. The rifle will do .5 t0 .75" groups (5 shots) with Sierra 50 gr blitzking, as well as the 40gr and 55 gr blitzking bullets. This rifle likes to shoot just about any thing. But it doesn't like the Barnes varmint grenade bullets. I haven't tried the 36 or the 62 grain offerings.
Your rifle may like them. Only way to find out is try a few. Good luck.
