[QUOTE="superA, post: 718991, member: 5329"] The twist stabilizes the bullet, a 20 inch 1 in 9 twist may stabilize the 75 gr just fine on account of it having more time to stabilize it compared to a 10 inch barrel where it has much less time to set it flying straight. A 1 in 7 will not pull the 55 gr apart and if you are shooting only .223 and not worried about a 22lr conversion than with the short barrel the 1 in 7 seems the only way to go. [/QUOTE]
