.224 bullet for javelina?

[Calif. Hunter]

I also asked this question in the Hunting section -
Hi - which bullet should I use for either a .223 or a .22-250 for javelina? The rifle I'd like to use is a CZ-527 in .223, which has the standard 1 in 12 inches twist (I think that's standard?) and not the faster 1 in 9 or 1 in 7 inches. I tried some 64 gr Powerpoints, but they did not group well. I have a box of 60 gr Partitions - will they stabilize in a standrd twist barrel? If not, what would you suggest?

The 60 grain Partition would be the bullet of choice and will stabalize in a 1-14 twist. We have found some rifles are sensitive to seating depth.

I tried just two loads with the 60 gr Partitiion, and 25.0 gr of BL(C)-2 shot them into itty-bitty groups of about 1/2 inch from my CZ-527 in .223 Rem. So that is the load I will use, of course! The Varget did not work as well - fo some reason, I've never had much luck with it in .223, though others have.
