Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 223 Rem, New school or old school twist rate?

I've shot a lot of 55 grain bullets through 1:8 twist barrels and accuracy seems fine. Most of my shooting is with 55-77 grain bullets. If you are interested in mostly shooting 40-55 grain bullets maybe a slower twist barrel would be better, but I've had no problems with the 1:8's.
