    Accuracy ?

    Will I have any accuracy issues using a 55gr bullet with a 1x7 twist barrel. I'm getting conflicting answers. Thank you all

    You probably wont make the olympic bulls eye squad, but you should be accurate enough to hit tactical targets out to at least 300 meters.

      You should get MOA out of a chrome lined barrel if you free float it.

        A 1:7 will fly a 55gr just fine. As always, the trick will always be finding a bullet brand, OAL (OAL determines bullet jump distance to lands) and velocity combo that your barrel likes best.

          ^^ this, start low and work up, you will find that 55gr and lower FPS works fine, I have spun the jackets of 55gr pills, but in the lower end of the FPS listed they are good out to ~250 yards.
          Q: What was the most positive result of the "Cash for Clunkers" program?
          A: It took 95% of the Obama bumper stickers off the road.

          You live in California. There's always more crazy. It's a renewable resource.

              I had a 1-8" barrel and 55 grain SP ammo shot very accurately. I was the topgun at an NRA LE Rifle Instructor School with that combination.
