Default .223 Twist

Hello,

I read the forum, right much but haven’t posted. I had a quick question thought ya'll could give me some advice.

I have a Rem 700 classic in .223Rem. The twist is 1:12. I have heard ALOT of talk that the slower twist will not stabilize a >55gr bullet.

The factory rile (with the exception of trigger work) will currently "cloverleaf" with 55gr V-max with 24.7 gr of H335. It also likes 55gr blitz-kings with the same push. I was wanting to shoot a little heavier bullet VIA a 60gr V-max or 60 gr Sierra HP.

Without wasting money & (most important...) time. Will my rifle shoot the 60 grain? Any paper printing outside of touching would be unacceptable.

Thanks in advance…
