Best Uses

The 40-grain bullet runs fast with light recoil, so you can often watch your hits through the scope. That suits prairie dogs and ground squirrels. Light bullets drift more in wind, so keep that in mind on breezy days. Zero with this load, since it can hit away from heavier ammo. Fiocchi 223 40 grain V-Max also shoots well in older 1:12 twist barrels. It is not a deer bullet. Fifty rounds covers a good morning in a dog town.

Will 40 grain 223 shoot in a 1:7 twist?
Many 1:7 barrels will shoot light bullets, though some group better with heavier weights. Very fast twist can stress thin jackets. Test groups first.
