[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 859710, member: 10"] One was a savage rifle just like the one we are talking about. The other was a 5R barrel from Rock, at least that's what the owner said was on his rifle. Not all Savage barrels will do this but some do with thin jacketed bullets driven very fast, especially once the barrels get a bit of wear on them. If your wanting to shoot 40-60 gr bullets, the 1-12 is best all around. If you want to shoot 55 to 80gr, the 1-9 would be a good choice. Most of the 1-9 rifles I have shot in 22-250 or large chamberings shot the 75 gr A-Max and 80 gr SMKs very well. In a 223, that 1-9 would be very marginal. That said, I built a 223 AI for a customer that has a 1-9 twist barrel and it shoots the 75 gr A-Max AMAZINGLY well out past 1/2 mile. [/QUOTE]
