I am thinking of getting a heavy-barrelled .223, mainly for short-range F/TR, and for use as a vehicle-based fox-lamping rig.
Would there be any disagvantage in ordering one with a 1:8 twist if I intend to use it mainly with 52gr bullets? It occurred to me that they might be spun too fast and disintegrate, or some thing like that.
You might well wonder why I'd want a 1:8 if I'm intending to use light bullets. The answer is that I might want to use heavier ones in future, so if there's no disadvantage 1:8 is a more sensible and versatile choice.
Any thoughts welcome!
