Trying to order ammo now, my gun has 1:7 Twist, will that shoot lighter bullets like a 50gr or 55 gr ok?

Found a fairly good answer to my question:

It should shoot 55gr fine, also it should stabilize up to 80 or so grains (mostly match ammo).  If it will feed 60gr partitions that would be my choice for hunting.

OK good!

I decided to try the 55 gr American Eagle on sale for $7.49 box at Cabelas, that's almost as cheap as buying brass. If those shoot I will reload with 55 ttsx and 55 soft points. If they don't shoot I'll try 60 partitions or some other 62 gr bullets.

Fun little, packable rifle! Mine shoots about 3moa with a variety of ammo. No better, no worse. But cats in a tree..more then accurate enough 👍

If I can get a 3 inch group at 50 yards that will be good enough.  :bfg:

This is my new self defense pistol to carry in my pack with the SU16. It's a Keltec PMR 30, holds 30 rounds of .22 Mag in each clip. If I can hold a 3" group at 5 feet with this pistol that will be good enough.

You are all kinds of high tech. That looks like a load out for Mass Effect

I'm excited to be able to put both weapons in my pack so I can handle dogs, carry less weight, and still have more than one shot available, most of the affordable light weight rifles are single shots, and I couldn't find any bolt actions this light. With the magazine capacity of these weapons I won't even need to carry extra ammo. My ammo arrived from Cabelas, I need to do some shooting and see what they can do.
