[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 659035, member: 24624"] You didn't say, but it seems likely you're talking about 223 or 5.56. ...in which case, 1:8" should stabilize all but the heaviest bullets. Unless you're handloading, BC will likely take a back seat to how well your rifle likes some particular factory ammo. This is especially true at 500 yds and with favorable conditions. My 1:8 twist DPMS carbine likes the BVAC ammo with 69gr SMKs. ...and, the price is right. But, it doesn't get along with the same stuff in 75gr. The 75 gr bullets may help in shifting winds. But, only if they have good accuracy. I'd be tickled with consistent .75 MOA at 200 yds from my AR. What do you mainly use the rifle for? -- richard [/QUOTE]
