[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1048438, member: 7123"] Kurt, you very smart man! Yes, sir, indeed - but I don't know *at what point* this will "over-stabilize" the standard 30-40 grain fare, if ever. All I know right now is that 1 in 9 does still work with standard ammo. Is that so? Very helpful; thank you. Looking for the "lowest one" - to get a lower line of sight - one that would NOT work on an AR15 DI, due to the buffer tube. Something that sweeps down, akin to the FN-SCAR stock or similar. That's actually a very good idea; haven't thought of that. And when / if I do ever switch back to a centerfire rifle, I won't have to be concerned with that fouled up gas port. Yes, I thought you'd see it my way. :D Not saying they're not useful; just that they're equally useful (roughly) as a Marlin 60, and yet only 5 times the price! In all seriousness though why in the name of all that is holy wouldn't they use a tighter twist? I just don't get the appeal of the 1 in 16 twist. Those SSSs are the shiz-nizzle, and a lot of people like to shoot them - they give you a bullet which is half again as heavy as a .22 mag bullet, twice as heavy as a .22lr bullet, and very suppressable. No, you cannot get through a mag without 1 or 2 stoppages, but still, the penetration and performance of them is well worth that tradeoff. [/QUOTE]
