kkm barrel is 1in20 so 147 might not work for that twist ... Guy at kkm said lead bullets and 147 with that twist wont work . the barrels are designed for jacketed or plated bullets. He said i might try plated 147 at sonic speeds i was like NO thank you..

As a comparison my 5" KKM bbl with the 147g extreme plated will shoot repeatable 1" groups at 15 yards. I mean its not the best and I dont know what you are looking for, but its all I need. Ive never imagined the slow twist would be an issue.

I have seen 147s hit side ways out of 32 twist. With that said may I suggest a 130/135 grain bullet. Other wise bump the load up in velosity. Not my idea of fun. 10 and 16 twist shoot heavy bullets best. 32 is for 115 to125 at there best. No experience with 20 or 24 twist yet.
