Well, I guess I should have explained this a little better to start with.
My current rifle actually does have a 1:9 barrel, but I'm in the process of working on upgrading. My current top picks (DD and BCM) both have the 1:7 barrels. I just wanted to be sure about this issue before dropping 12-13 hundred bucks on one, and then finding out I screwed myself because I now have a ton of ammo sitting around that's so completely unreliable/inaccurate, that it's unusable. Or be forced to get more expensive ammo to use just drilling.
