[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3163894, member: 15054"] This may not be a fair comparison as I feel a larger diameter and longer bearing surface bullet produces more twist and harmonic or whip into a barrel but here it goes. My savage axis .223 with pencil barrel shoots tighter groups than my .308 savage heavy barrels have ever shot. I had a 24" heavy and cut it to 20.5 and increased accuracy and then got an 18" heavy in .308 and it shoots very accurate but the axis pencil barrel .223 in 22" out shoots them. Talking accuracy to 300+ yards. Now i do like a short barrel and just because it is short and fat does not mean it will be an accurate barrel. You must just shoot it and see. When i got some factory .223 ammo I did some testing with it. I will see if I can find what i wrote about it. [/QUOTE]
