I can not find out what the twist rate is in the black shadow in 223wssm. Does anyone know what the twist is?

I wasn't upset about the black cat crossing my path this morning but mouthing "your fu@#ed" as he passed was just rude.

the browning version is a 1:10 so i would assume the winchester is as well.

Thanks for the information. The rifle is at a gunshop and they did not know the rate of twist. Since then I heard these rifles were not accurate so I will ask about that.

It looks like many of the WSM's and WSSM's shoot best with a carefully tuned reloads. I have only shot one and it was not to bad a shooter but it sure was loud. Wear good ear protection. The .223 WSSM is in the back.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

i had a 25wssm and it was in the same winchester rifle as the op refers to. mine was not a shooter, very finicky. never seen such a finicky rifle. i tried three different bullet weights from three different company's and i dont know how many different powders i tried but i never got it to shoot moa or better 1.5moa was the best i could do, i was disgusted with that and sent it down the river. i know a few people up here who have them as well, the one guy got rid of his. my brother in law has one, but its a browning and never been handloaded for. and a friend of mine's son has one in a browning as well and it shoots pretty well with handloads. it could be winchester, ive never been around a bad shooting browning abolt II.

Thanks for helping me with this. I do not handload so I like a rifle that shoots well with good ammo. It sound like the 223 wssm is hard to work with so I will just pass on it and get something more accurate.
