What AR Twist Rate is BEST?

Please correct me if I'm wrong…
Longer projectile prefer the tighter twist, such as 1:7.
Shorter barrels prefer the tighter twist.
A great "do it all" AR-15: 16" bbl with 1:8 twist. Will handle 55~77gr projectiles.

Me with the 1:12 💀

1:8 is the best because the majority of AR15 owners shoot, 5.56mm 55gr M-193 and 62gr M855 rounds and hunters usually prefer the 77gr rounds.

Ive never had issue with any round using my 1:7

77gr hollow points out of a 1/9 @ 400yds👌🏽

I’ve got all 3 in various AR platforms!

British and not a clue

Numbered one in nineteen bore

What about a 1 and 1 ?? I heard there's a firearm that has that I think it's the 8.6 black out

1/7…. That’s gods barrel 🙌🏿

This is a subject that doesn’t matter.. 99.9999% of the time.. Gun/barrel quality is so all over the place, you just can’t tell the difference. Speaking from experience, my mileage. I’ve got an Armalite with a 1:9 that shoots 75’s as well or better then some of my 1-7’s and several 1-7 that shoots 50/55 much better than the 1:9… 1:7,8,9… 🤷‍♂️

Thank you kindly

Would your beard stop a 22

8.6 Blackout: Hold my beer

so what’s the actual downside to using 1:7 over 1:9 when running lighter ammo? is spinning too fast an issue?

I can't afford 77gr because im poor 😂🤷‍♂️

definitely not a cult

I wonder what a 1:1 twist rate would do hypothetically 🤣

I shoot a lot of 62 grain green dots because I had bought a lot years ago at bulk . my 16 inch BCM I believe is a seven twist .
That being said I do shoot 75 100 yards pretty much when I actually try bullet on top of bullet . Just saying, I think a lot has to do with them for sure.

That's some weird math. 😂 Blah blah blah. Twist

You guys the man down range receiving all those 556’s isn’t gonna care what the twist rate was when he’s checking in downstairs

Thank you for explaining this

I choose progressive twist

I understood some of those words

His brard sits to low on his face to have it that long. It looks funny. To each his own love clips.

Yall are my fav firearm channel. I honestly thought you were buddy when I first started watching a few months ago. it just turns out you could be his twin. You even sound like em lol

How does the twist rate impact shorter barrels (7”, 10.3”, 11.5”, 12.5”, etc.)?

I prefer a 1:8 out of a 20inch as intended

All else being equal 1/7 is the best overall.

Although I have no complaints about 1/8 or even 1/9

Using 55 gr M193, 62 gr M855 & AAC 77gr OTM out to 300yds, in general, in my experience the closer you are to a 1/7 Twist, 20” barrel, Rifle length gas system the better off you will be in terms of reliability, accuracy and reduced recoil. Eugene Stoner got it right the first time.

Of course barrel quality and ammunition quality affect performance as well.

1:8 is the modified choke of the rifle world

Why do people use phrases like “heavier grained projectile”? Do you also say an M1 Garand is heavier pounds than an AR-15? I try not to be nit picky about these things, I don’t even care if people say clip instead of magazine, but this kills me!!!!

There is almost no reason to go with the slower twists. A 1:7 will shoot the short, light, bullets just fine. Mine will hammer with 52 grain bullets. They don’t “over stabilize” or blow up. The faster twist allows you to shoot all bullet weights well. Also, it’s not really weight of the bullet that matters, it’s length. So if you move to a non-lead bullet (say for hunting or frangible) you need a faster twist to stabilize a given weight, and you’ll want the heavier non-lead bullets for better ballistics. Keep it simple, keep it safe, keep it 1:7!

SCIENCE!!!

I’m tryna get some pulls

I replaced the 14.5 1:7 in my BCM with a 13.9 1:8 criterion core. It seems to consistently hold a half moa or better with 62-77 grain over the BCM at 100 yards with the rifle under magnification and bench rested.

NO BCM is not bad I have several. No need to defend your purchase decisions/masculinity with pedantic douche-baggery!

I bought an upper and I shoot bullets out of it 👍🏽

Excellent customer education shorts

I was ready to let these fingers blast off if they said the wrong info. Rather impressed. Barrel length, twist rate, tuning, it all matters when you're after peak ammunition performance. Act accordingly.

1 of each is the best

Twist rate has everything to do with projectile length, not weight.

👍🏻 good info

1:8 is my preferred

Great information. I really wasn't sure

But…. does it really matter?

I wonder what sound is the best with weapons? it’s kinda hard to pick when you think about it

Man Ive been wondering what that's meant since I got Into firearms, very useful information thanks a lot Gunbros

It's not so much the weight of the bullet, but the length of it. Heavier tends to be longer, but "non-toxic" hunting rounds made from things like copper tend to be longer for the weight as it is less dense of a material than lead. So a 1/7 might be perfect for a 55gr copper hunting round.

Quickly becoming rhe best educational firearms channel through your shorts. Good job

That's why I got the same rifle in his hand, the sig m400 for the 1:8 twist rate

1:236 personally
