I am thinking about buying a s&w ar that has a 16in barrel with a 1 in 8 twist. Will I get good accuracy out of this gun with 55gr bullets or only with heavier bullets?

brian, the 1:8" twist will give good accuracy with ALL bullets suitable for use in the .223 Rem.

The 1 in 8" twist is probably the most versatile twist for a .224 barrel. It'll do a fantastic jod with the 55gr bullets.
