Lighter Bullets for 1:9 twist AR
The title says it all: Does anyone here run lighter bullets in their 1:9 twist barrel? I tried 55 grain bullets in mine on a couple occasions, and the results were less than impressive. Since then, I've always just run it with 62 grainers. I've heard so many people, here and on other forums, say they have excellent results with 60, 55, and even 50 grain bullets, that its got me wondering if I should give it another try.
I'm planning on working up some test loads, using 50, 55, and 60 grain bullets - mostly for my own personal amusement, but hoping I might learn something along the way. However, to save myself some work, I was wondering if anyone here has any pet loads to share - just to give me a starting point when I make my own test loads.
Let me know what you think!
