What twist rate did you get in your 222 again azza?

Bought it in 1975 new and it wouldn't have had any more than 500 rounds through it so the barrel should be in good nick. Ammo was stuff that I reloaded sometime last century, and using Sierra 50gn Spitzers. I had no idea how it would should but was pleasantly suprised by the results on the 100 meter targe. Next task is to tighten up what was a pretty sloppy reloading regime to improve accuracy.

I'll let you know ... it would be a shame to waste some beautifully crafted bullets that some old Aust company went a lot of effort it make. My guess is they'll shoot just as well as the new fancy ones, but we'll see
