[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1570683, member: 54383"] I think you nailed it at 22”. My longest is 20” but it’s a toss up hate to give up speed you don’t need to. I have a 22” on my creed and it’s great for handling. Also those groups are fairly large in your .223 AR. Since you hand load you should grab a box of hammers and see if those shrink. Most the time the mag length ammo keeps you off the lands but hammer are very insensitive to jump. Cutting edge are similar but not as forgiving and they don’t seem to perform as well. I get consistent.75” 5 shot groups out of my 300blk with them. [/QUOTE]
