[QUOTE="6pakzak, post: 2399546, member: 120986"] Bought couple boxes of Hornady 80grain bullets for AR-15, I have a faster twist 1/8, so thought they would be good, looking at box it says for 1/7, didn't realize 80gr might be to much, looking up bullets for 1/8 twist shows 77 is about Max. Now been using 69 grain Hornady hpbt, which are ok accuracy wise but don't think I would buy again, but I look at box on 68gr and it says for 1/9 twist. Is this why they are so so in my 1/8 twist, kinda makes no sense cause they seem kinda heavy for a 1/9 twist. So should I send my 2 boxes of 80gr back to Midway since I have no 1/7 twist as they were not very cheap and don't want to waste components if it's gonna shoot crappy and why would they have 1/9 twist for 68 grain on the box.
