Barrel Twist Revisited

After writing this article, the author spent more time reviewing YouTube videos from the linked source. What was to be found was a walk down memory lane for this blog! 

This video and the follow up video both work to detail the accuracy of a 1:9 twist barrel with 77 grain ammunition. Three different 1:9 twist barrels are used, including a 16" rifle. This blog post, written over 7 years ago, comes to the same conclusion. Specifically written in that post:

"70+ grain ammo not being stabilized out of a 1:9 twist barrel is a myth when the barrel is 20" long. I have no data or proof for the claim one way or the other for 18, 16, or 14.5" barrels."

Well, now there is proof of the 16" barrels!
