August here from SA.
I've got a L46 222 which according to myself has got a 1/16 twist. I load myself. I've got a nice combo with Sierra 50gr Varmints that gives nice tight groupings. I also thought I had a nice load for a 35gr GS custom bullet, but it is very inconsistent. One day it groups nice, then again not. The 35gr GSC is a monolith HP and is also molycoated, which I am not a huge fan of. The bullet however performs brilliantly in small antelope, I have retrieved one that had a 99% weight retention and a perfect mushroom. I am looking for something similar when it comes to the performance as a hunting bullet, but don't want the molicoat and looking for a bit more consistency. Seems like its a hard task to get a nice hunting point for a 222 1/16 twist. Any advice would be much appreciated.
