Been shooting Grom 170gr and happy with accuracy
Started playing around bought some 125gr Winchester eish did my accuracy go for a ball of sh1t
Experts what would the lightest bullet I can use for say up to 100m
I think the barrel twist is 1:10 , 2004 model
Not reloading , factory ammo
Thanks

I have the same rifle but have never tried such a light for calibre bullet.
Your accuracy problem is not due to the bullet stability on such a "short" bullet and a 1:10 twist
I think you are going to battle to find a variety of off the shelf factory ammo in this light for calibre weight class.

Reloading will give you a lot more options.

As a matter of interest what is your need for these lighter bullets ?

Thanks dale ! hoping you would answer
Shooting pigs max distance 60 paces
Thought if I get a frontal head shot it might not go straight though like the Grom 170's
What's your thoughts, unluckily not loading rifles yet
Factory ammo does restrict you

[Dale SH]

Your most cost effective off the shelf ammo that wont over penetrate would be 150 grain PMP soft point (brown box)

[piglet]

Thanks will give that a bash
Have you fitted a silencer ?

[Dale SH]

Nope. Fairly standard barring a trigger job and a Hogue stock.

Once again thanks for advice

Is it not worth your effort to reload? A set of Lee dies costs roughly the same as two boxes of "cheap" factory ammo. I know a press is still needed.....
My 308 has never had a factory round yet.

Loading for 9mm and 40
But I know loading for rifles is a lot more precision than pistols
Don't think I am quite there jet
