While soothing 55-62 grain rounds.
    Punctuation and Grammatical nightmare too difficult to understand.

    1/8 should be good for just about everything short of tracers. The Army Marksmanship Unit picked 1/8 barrels for the M-16 SDM rifles for a reason.

    I don't know if anyone has suggested it yet, but should this thread be Sticky?

    I have a 24" SS RRA Varmint, it has a 1 in 8 twist and I love it. It is my most accurate AR, and I have shot up to 77gr OTM in it. It shot them great. All of my shorter rifles have a 1 in 7 twist, but I cannot complain about the RRA Varmint.

    Do yourself a favor. Type coherent and rational sentences or look for another place.

    I do know that Barnes has/had a contract to produce 62 GR RRLP rounds for Mil use. (Seen them and used them) Not sure if they were strictly Mil or if LE was also a recipient of these rounds.
