I have always had the best luck with under 60 in my 1:9 twist rates. If I am shooting anything heavy I go to 1:8 or 1:7.

Thanks Gents.

I picked up some 55 gr Superformance, and will find some 55 grain V-Max.

Someone should warn the coyotes that I'm comin'.

If you dont mind me asking, just out of curiosity, which AR did you purchase? I just got my first one yesterday  :IBCOOL: ADDICTION!!!

I just got a Bushmaster Carbine length (16" barrel), but I bought a quad rail hand guard and all kinds of crap to mount to that thing (bi-pod, flash light, new scope, vertical grip, 1-point sling, laser, etc.).....    :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

It will look like one over accessorized piece of something shortly......
