55gr and heavier, although some have used ligther without issue.

Just don't go shooting feather-weights through that barrel, unless you want that mini-shotgun effect.
(Or the "damn, my bullet got jammed in the barrel" effect).

My 1:7 loves my loads of 69 SMKs. You really won't have a problem with anything above 55 grains.

I don't think you should any problems shooting normal 223Rem/556NATO. I think the only you will run into exploding bullets, is in those ultra-velocity rounds such as the 22-250 with the muzzle velocity of 5,000fps. |

I've handloaded and fired 40gr Nosler Ballistic Tips out of my 1/7ROT Colts with no problems whatsoever-aside from accuracy being less than spectacular (no explosions, no bullets flying apart, and no pieces stuck in the barrel).
That being said 55gr (and heavier) bullet weights are ideal. |

55 grain Winchester Q3131A, and 55 grain Federal XM193 are both considered to be high quality, but decently priced ammunition. Most of us have both on hand.
