looking at getting a Stainless bull barrel AR in .223 for target shooting just not sure which way to go. First 16" - 20" Bull barrel, Then there is twist 1:8, 1:9, 1:10 twist without reloading which I'm not ready for & factory ammo in 45gr. 55gr. & 62gr. What would be the best option that will work with different bullet weights. Hope this makes sence.
info for AR15 Target Barrel
- Thread starter Brocolt
- Start date
I have an Armalite 20" Stainless Heavy Barrel 1:8 that shoots very well. Wolverine sells them for around $330, (barrel only - labeled as National Match - 'NM'.
I'm very suprised how well it shoots 69gr. SMKs out to 800m sitting on a bipod.
You'd be waisting your money and time with a bull barrel imho, and I'd recommend spending the extra coin on setting up to hand load for it.
