[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Handload Question for MIL Spec Barells

Posted: 2/17/2008 8:18:10 AM EDT

Any one hand load Nosler 55 grain ballistic tip's for a GI 16" 1in7 twist barrel? It seems to me that you would need to reduce the powder charge to compensate this fast twist rate. I've read that centrifugal force can tear the jacket off in flight with high velocity rounds down a fast twist rate tube. Should i go with a heavier bullet?
