[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anybody ever shoot M856 in a 1/9?

Posted: 8/3/2017 4:38:11 PM EDT

I forget how long that bullet actually is in comparison. I guess I need to google. I have some and soon might do a night shoot at a buddies house. Would like to bring some of it. I can't shoot it at my range so I thought it would just be fun.

FWIW, this particular 1/9 shot 77 grain without keyholing at 25 meters.

Woah. I don't think that's gonna work. I'd be curious if anyone has ever shot it in a 1/9 and if it DID stabilize....... My 1/9 is only a 14.7"er though....

I've shot it at 75 yards and it was fine out of a 1:9

I've done it. Honestly couldn't tell if it stabilized; I was shooting at about 75yds and not at paper targets.

They barely got lit by 75 yards but they did!
