[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1044502, member: 7123"] Even if that's true, the twist rate on a .222 Rem bbl ain't gonna do well with 55 grain and up in all likelihood (they're optimized for 35, 40, and 45 grain bullets) - not to mention impede case capacity and therefore performance. Again, be that as it may, it won't do any good if you can't hit with it, and factory .222 bbls are 1 in 14", so I kinda doubt it. Your handgun might or may not stabilize them. And the powder capacity will be quite limited. But I suppose it may be worth a try - there's always a chance ; weird things can happen. I have a friend whose S&W MP-22 shoots the 60 gr aguila SSS with a (supposed) 1 in 16" twist! .223 should work though - but by those regs - if quoted correctly, it's not legal, even if 55 gr or over - because it's a handgun, and it's not .24 or larger.
