They will shoot! I am running 52 gr SMKs out of mine into little bitty holes. I haven't tried anything heavier because I also have one in 308.
I promise, you won't regret one.

Re: 223LTR

I sold my .308 LTR, but still have the .223 LTR. I mainly shoot a handloaded 69 SMK. The very best group I've ever got was .435" at 200yds. But I'd say my average is around .4-.6" at 100yds. For some reason, the LTR rifles have shot better than the AAC-SD and the .223 Tactical I've had and on par with the 5Rs and 700P that I've had. Who knows, maybe I was lucky with the LTR rifles.

I've had several over the years and they all shoot good. Shop around and they can be had for a fair price. There's a couple dealers that have them with 40x triggers verses the X-Mark.

A handy little rig!!
