    So far less than 200 rounds. So time will tell...

    Twist rate shouldn't be an issue. More twist is needed for Longer bullets, not heavier bullets. Granted, a 60 gr bullet in rimfire will be a little longer than a 40 grain, but nowhere near the length of an M856 (for example) in the centerfire realm.

    In other words, 1/7 twist is needed to stabilize a bullet that is longer than the entire length of the rimfire cartridge (case included)

    I haven't tried it in my 1/7, but it worked fine in my 1/9. Accuracy was about the same as the much cheaper stuff though. Probably because of the twist rate. If I don't forget, I'll try some in my 1/7 LMT sometime this week.

    One thing I did note: the lower receiver/trigger group was gnarly with grit and unburned powder after firing a few rounds of the Aguila. That didn't occur with any other rounds tested.

    1/16 twist is commonly used for .22LR. Barrels made specifically for the 60 gr. SSS are typically 1/9.

    My Spikes Conversion with 1/7 barrel is pretty accurate with Aguila SSS. It'll hold an 1" at 25yds using iron sights.
