Mini 14 GB Ammo?
« on: January 01, 2010, 03:24:04 PM »
Just bought 1K of Silver Bear 62 gr BTHP for a great price. I have shot it it my Target Mini 14 3 round strings only and have had no problems but I got more of the ammo for my newly aquired GB model. It was manufactured in 1995 but I still have not got a reply from fuger on barrel twist. nyone out there use this ammo in a mini? If so any rpoblems, I know my H&R Ultra will shoot two rounds and the third will stick in chamber and has to be forced out, I guess to steel case expanding.

I'm thinking your twist rate is 1 in 7.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

From Perfect Union:

TWIST RATE FOR MINI-14

1978-1985 = 1 in 10" (e.g., 181 series)
1986-1994 = 1 in 7"
1995-2004 = 1 in 9" (e.g., 197 series).
2005-2009 = 1 in 9"
