sporterized Krag Jorgensen pawn shop pickup | The High Road

The road and adjacent areas were quite soft and in one place my L.L.Bean boots sank into soft, muddy ground along the road.
Best bullet weight .223 with 1/9 twist - The High Road
Dec 18, 2018 · My favorite bullets for a 223 are the 73-77 grainers, but you need a 1:8 or 1:7 twist for that. For a 1:9 I would try a 50, 53, and 55 grain V-max. The 53 is my favorite. Good powders to try in that weight class would be Benchmark, 2015, H335, CFE223, and Varget. L.
