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. Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

Yep, 1/7 and 1/8 good to go. | |||
