I'm looking at getting a 24" 223ai barrel for My origin. I wanna go Krieger but all i can find is 8T. I wanna shoot primarily 80-85gr berger. Will this work? What about 90s?

Did you look at Berger's twist rate calculator?
Not yet

Our newly updated Twist Rate Stability Calculator not only tells you what your SG is, but it also lets you know if you are reaching your optimized BC.
bergerbullets.com looks like I will need 7T. Says marginal. Bartlien has 7t
You can't go wrong with either one. I prefer Bartline, you won't be unhappy..
I'm currently using a proof for my 6.5x47. Shoots good.
I have talked to a couple guys that thought the 1:7” twist was a touch too slow for the 85.5s at longer ranges. Accuracy degraded and they went with the 80s. I went with 1:6.5”. If you want to try 90s I would definitely go 1:6.5”. My 1:6.5” is a Krieger.
What contour?
Heavy Palma.
Ok I have a medium Palma now. Looking for rem varmint so it fits inside stock inlet as is. Can't find any in 6.5t. Where did u get yours?
I can’t remember. I think I got it in the classifieds.
No, I remember, I got it from Krieger. They’ve got some Palma 1:6.5”. That’s a pretty easy inletting job.
Yea I found it. I got room to open it up anyway
I have shot a bunch of both of those bullets out of a 1-8 Krieger and have not troubles with either, even in the cold.
Krieger has a bunch of 6.5 twist barrels in stock
Call and talk to Todd, he’ll get you squared away
