Molon, your posts are a breath of fresh air.
It is exaperating to continually see the same level of misinformation re light bullets in fast twists over and over despite posts like yours.

Thanks Molon for the great post, it definitely cleared up my questions on the matter. Just goes to show that we can read and speculate all we want but rounds down range matter most.
"Shooting uphill in the rain", is that anything like walking to school in the snow? Uphill both ways? lol, I joke, but that second group is just awesome. The other guys are right, people can say whatever they want, the proof is in the pictures. Thanks
so much for 1:9" not being able to hit anything with 75gr+, despite what the internet says. Not optimal but not the end of the world like a lot of people try to make it out to be.

My 1/7 twist Noveske shoots 52 to 55 grain ammo just fine. It also shoots 77 grain loads great too.
In fact my 1/7 twist Noveske shoots ball better than my 1/8 twist Larue. It also shoots better than the Laure with 52 grain match bullets. The Larue however kicks its but with 77 and 75 grain bullets.

I am pretty sure that if you look at many posts here (and I think Molon will agree) that it is not 100% across the board.
Yes, some or even many will. But, it is not always the case and you may be the lucky guy who gets the one that doesn't. I an addition most 1/9" are not HP/MPI tested.

Absolutely and I clearly stated that while I haven't measured the exact twist of the "1:9" inch twist barrel that I fired the 75 grain OTM load from, that it is quite possible that the twist of that barrel is on the "tighter" side of 1:9". Also keep in mind that those groups were fired in a Michigan summer. The results might have been entirely different in a Michigan winter. I would not "bank" on a 1:9" twist barrel adequately stabilizing the 75-77 grain bullets.
Here's a pic of the Hornady 75 grain A-MAX fired from another 1:9" twist barrel at a distance of only 25 yards.

All that is necessary for trolls to flourish, is for good men to do nothing.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one saying SBR's can be accurate much further out than most people think.
