[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1614657, member: 9299"] I've used most everything from a 7 to 14 twist in 223/5.56 and 223AI, and while my 9's in a 24/26 inch tube shoot well with wts upto and including the 75's, I have settled on 8 twist for my 69-82gr bullets out to 1,000+ yds. For my Pdog rifles with the 55 to 35gr bullets, currently I run 12-14 twist to avoid the occasional jacket separation while in flight of a few of the TNT and othe HE designed varmint bullets. If desiring a compromise twist for the 69's and under, I have good experiences with the 9's. [/QUOTE]
