[QUOTE="liltank, post: 463498, member: 13275"] There is no quote on quote rule of thumb on twist rate. You should however plan to use a twist rate that will handle the loads you plan on shooting. If you have a desire to shoot to 1000yd with a 223, then you will need a 1:8 minimum or 1:7 to shoot the heavier VLD bullets. For that distance no less than 75grn bullet should be used. There is some factory ammo that will offer these style of bullets. You should break the barrel in with bullets and loads you plan to shoot. For the first 15 or 20, cheap stuff is fine, but after that, if you plan to hand load this would be the time to start using them to see what kind of consistency you are going to get. The off the shelf stuff is not going to be that inexpensive. You should try stuff like Hornady Match Superformance, Federal Gold Match, Black Hills, Cor-Bon, and the like. These will give you the best performance. There is some military grade ammo designed to be accurate, just not sure of the nomenclature. Tank [/QUOTE]
