Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - best type of ammo for a 1/8 twist
Posted: 9/10/2004 4:59:48 PM EDT
finally will be ordering a model 1 sales kit with a 20" 1/8 twist ss barrel.  I'm looking for someone who has one and what ammo has the best grouping out of it.  Or some input on what to try.

62-64 grains is what alot of people use but each barrel is not the same you will have to work up some loads start at 62 and work up

Yeah, pretty much what everyone else said.  You will have to see what your particular barrel likes, but basically anything above 62 gr up to whatever fits in the magazine (usually 77gr).
