    Is their a trick with ghost ring sights?

    I bought Ruger's new 50th 10/22 that comes with ghost ring sights. This is my first rifle I ever bought that has this system. As I was tinkering with it today, my shots were 6" left at 25 yards. I adjusted the rear sight all the way to the right and I'm still 1.5" to 2" left. Anyway...

    About barrel twist rate?

    I just bought this Savage Axis 223. It has a 1-9" twist barrel. I never loaded for this caliber in this fast of a twist rate. All 9 of my reloading manuals use a test gun of a twist rate of 1-12" and one with a 1-14. So my question is; will the difference in twist rate effect muzzle velocity...

    About compressed loads?

    On a compressed load; Do you find that the bullet will push out of the case with the force of the compressed powder? You might see it in a few hours or the next day. I'm not sure but a theory of mine. I was loading .222 with WIN 748. I think they are growing somehow.
