    Just got another 223 almost finished putting together, its a 12 twist with a 14" barrel.
    Planning to just shoot the 55gr hornady 2266 projectiles.

    What sort of velocities are people seeing in 14" barrels?
    If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.

    Hodgdon has data for the .223 in their pistol section with a 15 inch barrel that may help.
    GPM.
