Looking to get a 14" .223 barrel for my Contender. I understand the standard TC twist would be 1-12, I'm thinking faster twist 1-9 or maybe even 1-8, what is the opinions here? Probably shoot 50 to 55 grain factory ammo (don't reload). Thanks Charlie
You can't spin 'em too fast, IMO. With the short tube you are going to lose a lot of speed so I'd get a 7. My 16" AR is a 7 and it'll drive tacks with 40's and 55's. Haven't tried anything heavier as yet.
