[QUOTE="sinister, post: 323122, member: 9572"] There are perhaps three bullet makers producing 90-grain HPBT match .224 bullets. They require at least a 1-6.5 twist to stabilize. Alliant (ATK) - Federal made 100-grain bullets by using M856 tracer jackets and filling them with lead. Accuracy was horrible, but was their effort at making a mass-produced heavy bullet. You may need a 1-6.5 or faster to stabilize due to length/weight. Powell River Labs in Tennessee produced heavy 5.56mm frangible bullets produced with tungsten dust cores. These bullets did not require faster than 1-7 twist due to their weight/length ratio, but they cost well over $1 each. [/QUOTE]
