Fluted barrel 223 twist rate

[poncaguy]

same as plain barrels?........1x12 or 1x9............?

1:9" most likely, it was the first to be offered in 1:9 in 2005, but then they switched back and forth for a while, so it may be either unless it was made after 2007 when all 223s were 1:9".

thanks.................I'll shoot some Horandy 75 grain Match rounds tomorrow and find out......maybe...........my AR15 shoots those and 40 grain Fioocchi into 3 shot dime size groups with a 1x7 twist, but doesn't like 55-62 grain rounds?

The Fiocchi vmax ammo is currently THE bargain .223 ammo.

I have been trying to find a fluted .223 barrel to build a fast twist .22-250 AI out of for heavy bullets. No luck yet.

40 Grain Fiocchi , 3 shots smaller than a dime,,,,wow!

[quickdtoo]

Nice shooting Larry!!
