[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1565680, member: 83267"] I always buy 1-8 twist barrels they will stabilize 75-77 bullets no problem no matter the barrel length, which are the heaviest bullets that can be magazine length loaded. 223 can’t be loaded hot enough to get even very lite bullets 35gr to come apart so really there is no downside to going with the 1-7 twist in 223 and you can shoot any bullet weight. I do not find that the fast twist barrels suffer from poor accuracy with lite bullets at all. I suspect that matching twist to heaviest bullets your wanting to shoot for the best accuracy is a bit of a benchrest fairytale for most of us. There may or may not be anything to this benchrest fairytale but with my equipment I cannot put it into quantitive terms. I normally shoot 75’s for longrange but I get superb accuracy out those same guns with 50-55gr bullets the drawback is they start getting blown around by the wind great deal much past 400yds.
