Hey all,

I am about to order a new barrel and I have a question for all you Swede AI and Swede owners out there on twist. I want to shoot 120gn through 142gn. I will be using the 129sst also and I am wondering if the 8.5 twist will stabilize the 142's and the lighter pills as well. I know everyone says to get the 8 twist but I was thinking that this is primarily for the 140- 142s and might not stabilize the lighter ones.

I have always heard that in the .223 that 1 in 9 will not stabilize the 69gn and 77gn pills but every 9 twist .223 barrel I have EVER had would. And do it well at least to 200 yds. So I'm just wondering if the compromise is best.

Any input is appreciated!
