cant see why it wouldn't. As long as you can get some load data.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on May 17, 2016, 07:19:28 PM: Might be from what I have seen in mine. The quicker the twist generally means it will do better with a heavier bullet. The slower the twist better for the lighter end bullets. There are exceptions and some bullets will just flat shoot in any twist. Would not be to expensive to try and might work good.

As long as it's for 110 grain projectiles.
