I guys, I am looking to buy a 223, I had assumed a 1:9 twist was preferable to a 1:12.
But then I read that to faster a barrel can lead to poor accuracy with a light barrel!
I would be shooting primarily 55gn SP and 59gn cast bullets (using a RCBS .22-55-SP mould), would a 1:12 be fast enough to get good stabilization of a bullet that size/weight?
A 1:12 twist, would open up a few more rifles to me!
