I am new to AR-15's. I am currently building an AR 15 lower from PSA stripped lower, PSA LPK and MOE stock.
I want to use my AR-15 for plinking and possibly small game (ie coyotes, groud squirrels, etc). I have been discussing this with a buddy who already has an AR. He mentioned that a twist rate of 1:9 would be best because it can handle lower grain ammo, thus it is cheaper to go plinking. As far as barrell legnth and the other specs, I am not sure about. What would you guys recommend? |

55 gr is the cheap stuff and it will work out of a 1:7 too.
a 1:7 would be more versatile if you ever want to use heavier ammo at greater distances, like maybe a 68gr for huting deer or pig 1:9 might have the edge if you want to drop down into the 40gr bullet range |
