GTFO with all of that gun talk!

Some of us are scared about **** like that and don't want this thread being polluted with that nonsense.

What twist ratio is better? 1:7 or 1:9? Also, can I shoot 223 in my 556?

Thanks

What is a twist ratio?

Also, can I shoot 223 in my 556?

.223 has to be able to shoot out of your 5.56. It's a smaller number, so it obviously fits.

Words of wisdom right here.

Oh ok. .223 goes into 5.56 24.93 times so that explains the 30 round magazines.

Thanks

The barrel’s twist rate refers to the distance a bullet travels in the barrel to complete a full revolution. For instance, a 1/9" twist means that the bullet will make a complete revolution for each 9 inches traveled in the barrel. Heavier bullets require a faster twist rate to stabilize them correctly, but too fast of a twist rate will potentially cause a bullet to spin apart. For this reason it is important to match a barrel to the bullets being fired. In selecting a single twist rate for the survival AR, either a 1/7" or a 1/9" will serve the purpose best. These barrels are designed for bullets from 55 to 62 grains, and these are the weights that will most likely be used in survival. The 1/9 is the better of the two, but the majority of Colts/military barrels are 1/7.

I feel like 24.93 rd mags should be more readily available, but math doesn't lie.

Everyone knows you can't load mags to their supposed full capacity. It will break the springs.
