The chamber isn't really going to make any difference... Its the barrel twist ratio that stabilizes the bullet to achieve maximum accuracy... With the shorter lighter bullets a slower twist ratio is beneficial... The 1:10" twist ratio will stabilize 40-55 grain bullets the best... You could even get decent results using a 1:12" twist barrel too...

Here are two 10-shot groups from 100 yards using 55 grain Sierra BlitzKings. The barrel was a Colt 16" HBAR with a 1:9 twist and a NATO chamber with chrome lining. (The groups were shot off a bench using a high-power Leupold scope.)

What I am conserned with is the Long throat in the 5.56
I will not be able to get close to the lands hand loading 40-55 gr. V-Max Bullets. I want a tack drive. I am thinking of getting either a Fulton Varmint Upper 20" 1:9 or an Olympic K-8 1:9 20" Bull. Both are 5.56 Chambers |

This is one of my better 5 shot groups with my scoped Bushy hbar with the Winchester 45gr varmint ammo.

WWB 45 gr, 24", 1-12 twist, RRA Varmit (Wylde Chamber). These are typical groups. BHBB 52 gr. MHP groups somewhat better.
