Hi all!
This is my first post here, though I've been lurking the forums for a while now (think I've read almost every post!). I've picked up a bunch of good info from a lot of the regulars here, so thank you very much guys.
I have had a .22 for a few years and have been range shooting when I can to try and get myself forming good habits before moving up in calibre.
I recently decided to purchase something of the .223 variety (Heart was set on a T3X Varmint, then got swayed by the LA102 but couldn't source one, so the T3X should arrive by the end of the week
).
So after that ramble I'll get to my question. The rifle is available in both a 1in8 and 1in12 twist. At the advice of the LGS chap I've got the 1in12 on order as all I'll be using it for will be shooting paper at the range.
I kinda knew about twist rates vs projectile weight at the time but he seemed to think that as I'll just be shooting paper a 1in12 with 55gr max would be fine.
I do tend to agree, but have I handicapped myself for stability or accuracy at range due to not being able to sling heavier lead?
When I say "range" I'm meaning anything up to 400 as that's the limit where I shoot.
Anyways, seeing that I'm going to be limited to 55gr and under rounds, does that put me at a disadvantage compared to my 1in7 RPR toting mate with his 69gr pills or is it negligible at these distances?
Hope that makes sense and cheers guys in advance for any advice you can give.
