OK, I've heard many differant opinions on this, and would like to know exactly the 1/7 twist affects
55 gr. bullets.
I've heard some people say that it actually makes the bullet more deadly at long ranges, and has little affect on accuracy, either short or long ranges.
Others have said that it makes the bullet less deadly, and makes it quite a bit less accurate.
Also, I've heard that the only reason that the military goes with it is to stabilize their tracer rounds, which seems a bit odd to me since there would seem to be better reasons than that. But than again, we are talking about the military here.
So what's the concesus here? Is the 1/7 twist adequate for the 55 gr. bullet, or is it terrible? Anyone here actually done much long range shooting with the two?
Anyway's, thanks in advance.
