wouldn't a 1:12 stabilize from 147gr to 175gr. i think its the right twist for a battle rifle. on a precision rifle i would go with a 1:10

Quoted:
Lookin like a ACR insteadYa cause the ACR has a 1:9 twist in the .223 vs SCAR's 1:7 military bbl plus no 7.62 ACR in sight ACR=fail IMHO |

1:12 will work fine for surplus up to 175gr bullets. You're not going to use anything heavier for that anyhow so what's wrong with it.
