1-12 twist barrel

[Dane Armory]

Any opinions on using a 1-12 twist barrel in a 300 whisper/blackout ? I have a source for a bunch of these. Could also do them in 308 win.

well, in 300 I'd think you'd want to be sticking to the lighter end of bullets, which isn't all bad, but I dunno then about running it subsonic + suppressed.

Yep, they'd have to be light bullets, in the 110gr range.  My 16" 300BLK barrel is a 1:8 twist.

You would most likely have to stay with the lighter bullet weights ,but ya never know , might work just fine . As said, the 1-8 is used for a wide span of bullet weights .

 

Might work fine for a specialty longer range rifle .My 1-8,16" shoots any bullet wt., I put through it pretty damn good .

 

Now the 1-12, 308 sounds interesting.

I am looking build a 300 ACC and plan on just shooting 125 grain supersonic rounds . What barrel twist should i go to. Thanks

Start this in it's own thread, instead of tagging a reply to a thread that last saw life on 4 May 2013.  Kudos for the reasearch, big time, but your question stands alone.

Start a new thread, guy.  Brand new.  Only your question.
