[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 398467, member: 2736"] That's exactly what it was built for. (Speed). I took a different approach and put a 1 in 15 twist 3 groove barrel on it and so far it was a good move. I wanted to get as much speed as possible with good accuracy. I have not reached max loads yet and expect it to exceed 4500 ft/sec with the 40 grain ballistic tip (Have not tried the 35 grain yet). It has pushed the 69 grain to 3942 ft/sec with no signs of pressure or loss of stability with the slow twist, But I would be surprised if it would handel bullets any larger. It has been a fun project and has exceeded any expectations I had. The 223 AI was built for coyotes and with 200 ft/sec more velocity with the lighter bullets it will work in the AR platform and Fire forming is straight forward with accuracy well under 1 MOA with 223 ammo. I am not a big fan of wild cats but this one just made sense. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
