I have been toying with the idea of getting a .223 bolt action precision rifle. I've noticed that many of them come with 1 in 12 twist rifling, vs. the 1 in 7 or 1 in 9 rifling that most AR's come with.
Would I be seriously be limiting myself as to bullet weights with a 1 in 12 twist? I would guess I would be shooting mostly 55 grain rounds, not lower and maybe some in the 62 grain range (55 gr. are very available and inexpensive). Just looking to punch paper with this potential gun. Your thoughts?
