I guess I'm "old" ... 'cause I don't mind that. My .223 "career" predates the polymer tipped bullets. The best way I found to get maximum splat was to hit things with Hornet bullets pushed right to the ragged edge of jacket failure. That meant keeping the distances short. Take one of those 1-16" twist .223s and feed it 35 grain VMAX hornet bullets ... it'd be entertaining.

I hear ya.

Fast twist is the current rage.

So, slow is old.
