I purchased a Ruger M77 MKII in .223 with a 1 in 12 twist in 2004 and have put around 200 rounds through it (55 FMJ).
I put NECG peep sight on it and is has been "soda can MOA" at 100 yards but now I want to mount an optic and wring out it's accuracy potential. Back in the day I was ignorant of twist rate vs. bullet length or I would have purchased something else with a faster twist.
What factory ammo -bullet weight - length would you suggest for accuracy? The heaviest (heavier is usually longer) would you recommend?
Are 60 - 62 - 65grs out of the question? I need advice before spending money on ammo that others would not recommend. I will be reloading my own soon.
Thanks!
