bahamacop Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 I have the SASS 18" with the 1 in 10 twist barrel. The 168gr ammo I am using works ok, my thought are that the 175gr would be better suited for this gun and might be a little more accurate. Any thought or experiences on this?
98Z5V Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 From what I've seen so far, I'm getting almost identical groups from both bullet weights out of my 1:10 Fulton Kreiger barrel. It's very, very close.
survivalshop Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 I think most are using the 175's for really long range work .
Madhouse Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 Isn't the heavier bullet recommended for high twist rate, carbine-length barrels?
bahamacop Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Posted January 26, 2011 Isn't the heavier bullet recommended for high twist rate, carbine-length barrels?That was the belief I was under, but I've heard most say it doesn't make a difference, thus the question.
Matt.Cross Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 I think the difference is going to be more notable at extended ranges, if you can believe what you read on the internet... Apparently heavier is a little more stable as you start approaching the 1,000 yard mark.
