Simple curiosity. Why 8 twist on 16.5” bll. ? (beside that you wanted it, understood)
1. It was available at a discounted price (Ordered from Krieger and not picked up by customer.) 😁 2. It has stabilized the full spectrum of bullet weights (110-175gr), proven very accurate with them, and seems to regain some velocity lost by the shorter barrel.
Todd Hodnett at Accuracy First turned me on to the 8T concept for .30cals after a lot of testing and the concept seems to be working. So, when this barrel came available me, I jumped on it. [/quote]
Thnx Zulu, I should have focused my ? on 16.5" bll. and I think you answered that as well. Thnx.
