Okay AR dudes.
What's the heaviest proj.(5.56/.223) you guys sucessfully send through a 1/7 AR barrel? (looking for personal experiences here)
I loaded some 70gr and I'm really not having any problems with them, actually quite the opposite, scoped I'm getting very small groups if not overlapping.
Do you think the twist rate/grain weight stigma is overstated or do you find heavier projectiles to need differing twist rates?
I'm considering building another upper with a 1/9, but if its no different I just wont bother. I'll say that I do use the rifle for varm hunting in ranges up to 400-500yds.
Thanks for any input.
