Hello
I have a DD AR upper chambered in 5.56 NATO, 1:7 twist. 16" Govt profile.
It seems very accurate, even with LC 55gr 5.56 and bulk 55gr .223 ammunition. I seem to be able to get 0.33 in groups at 25 yards , informal indoor shooting (no lead sled). And can hit a soda can at 150 yards outdoors (again, just resting elbows on a bench). (1-1.5 MOA?)
Have a CMC trigger on the lower and free float the barrel on the upper.
I have the parts to build a second upper, except for the barrel. Not sure whether or not it is worth it.
SO, would a Wylde chambered, 1:8 twist SS 18" barrel be significantly more accurate than the DD one I have?
Thanks
