Best twist/bullet grain for ar15 bench gun

[jmichael99]

i think iv made my final choice and will go with a ar15 rifle instead of an ar10 type this year.. i already have a lower so in the end i save money. ar10 next year

anyway. Ill most likely be getting a 22in bartlein barrel so im looking for the best twist and grain combo to use. I will only shoot hornaday match ammo. Right now i do NOT reload.. im thinking of getting into that next year

thanks for all your guy's help!

Anything between a 7-8 twist barrel. 80gr SMK is the standard by which other match bullets are measured, but you have a ton of great bullets to choose from.

does anyone make an 80gr SMK bullet ready to go or is for reloading only?

77gr SMK works great and feeds thru mags

I suggest a 1-8 twist, this way you can shoot factory 55-77gr ammo.
