6.5X55 Swedish?

[brokenvet]

I built a swede from a Yugo M48 and I placed a Adams & Bennett light weight barrel on it.  It would not shot very good with heavy bullet because of the light weight barrel.  I hope that who ever built your swede used a better barrel.

It's not the lightweight barrel that makes heavy bullets shoot bad,  it's the rate of twist your barrel has.

Yes your correct on that.  However this particular barrel of Adams & Bennett has a 1-9" twist did not do so well and when you up grade to a heavier barrel of the same maker and twist the accuracy shrinks from 3" - 4" to  .75"  The reviews on it on MidwayUSA says the same thing. 

Yes the ideal twist for the 6.5X55 is 1-7"

I would say the ideal twist for a 6.5x55 would be a 1-9 for across the board bullet selection and a 8 twist for the heavies and the 8 twist will still shoot the 95gr V-Max's with some serious RPM's and accuracy.
