So far the heaviest bullets I have shot out of my M70 Coyote .223 WSSM is the 60 gr. Nosler Partition. Accuracy was excellent(just over 3/4"@100 yards). Normally I shoot 50 - 55 gr. Ballistic Tips. These group well under MOA all day and for what I am using the .223 WSSM for(knocking off Ground Squirrels and such at longer ranges) they work great. Lawdog

Gary,
Yea I'm not going to go with this set up the barrel is over a "MGM" but thx for the info...yea I'm looking for all the info. I can get I'm going to put together a fast twist 22 centerfire to run 60-80gainers out of.I haven't found anything for sure except I'm going to have "MGM" build it an it will be 1-8" an 27"long fluted with a brake for my encore. I had to do it I went over to TTHA.com an seen the info on the .224TTH an I think that round will give the coyotes in eastern wa.a "POP" with say that 60-80g bullets.I just have to come up with the "best"(least case problems an work)energy generator under it..
any help??
thx again
chuck

A 1:7 or 1:8 is your best bet for bullets up in the 69-80 grain range.

I have an Encore, too. I want a fine barrel for it. Where do I go?

I very nearly built a 224 TTH to shoot the heavy bullets but then I came to and decided to resurect my 6MM Remington so I could shoot 75 and 80 grain bullets.
