Im looking to purchase a AR-15 in the next few days pending a little more research. Im down to the last consideration before purchase and could use a little "enlightenment" on twist rates. I understand the concept that for lighter bullets in the 45-55 range will stabelize in 1 in 12 twist rate and that the heavier 75-80 grain bullets will be better in 1 in 7 twist rate barrels.
I prefer heavier bullets in this caliber. I think that the bulk of my shooting would involve 62-69gr bullets, however I might want to run some as heavy as 75 through it. If I got a 1 in 7 twist barrel it would stablize the heavier 75 gr bullets but how would it preform with 62 and 69 grain bullets?
I would greatly appreciate any feed back from those knowledgable in this subject!
