[QUOTE="DrBaker, post: 103934, member: 50"] I searched a few other boards and found this to be a very sensitive topic for some individuals. Therefore, I didn't want to ask my question on those forums and start World Thread War III. AR15... All of mine have 1:9 twist rates. Most of the time I use 55gr ammo. I don't shoot people with my AR, nor do I hunt with it. Most of the time a stare/admire them, take some photos, and occassionaly pull the trigger at some paper targets. I've been looking for parts to build another. Many of the barrels that meet my price/configuration requests have a 1:7 twist. Based on my usage (or lack of) what should I expect with a 1:7 twist. This question is asked all the time and nobody seems to have the same answer. My studies find most to say that the faster twist is best for the heavier round. What weights does each twist support? Who do you believe.?. [/QUOTE]
