I am in the market for a new 16" mid length gas system upper.
I am truly LOST on which twist rate to get.
1x9 was reputed to be the best "All around" twist rate back in the '90's.
But I hear a chrome lined 1x9 won't stabilize a 77gr projectile?
1x7 will stabilize the 77gr but the 55gr is useless in it.
So wouldn't it be logical that the 1x8 barrel would do everything between and including the 55 and 77 grainers?
But there is no chrome lined 1x8 barrel available. Is chrome lining that much more reliable than stainless steel? I am not in the "cat box" nor will I be going. I'm not a competition shooter, yet., but should the Hottintots run amok my rifle would be used as my primary weapon.
55gr is uber cheap, so I shoot it almost exclusively, but I'm geting a lot more serious about my shooting so the 77gr looks real good.
CRAP! Confusion induced anurism!!!!!!
I have a 1x9 BM already, and "one of each" is not an option as I'm in college.
Like friggin help or some junk!!!!!
