AI .308 Twist Rate vs Year of the Bullet

[MATADOR]

Just call Mile High and have them switch it out for a US Bartlein Barrel those are 1-10... (WIN TAC)

These are TACTICAL rifles, not F Class, those guys are using really long barrels and super heavy bullets... they walk 5 yards from the trunk of the car to the line, any farther they use a cart.

The 185 is a great bullet, why do you think Federal Switched... they offer the Berger 185 as a factory load now. Yes you can shoot a 155 but unless you are shooting Palma why bother ... well if you are still stuck using a 1-12 maybe. But we certainly have better bullets today, and most of those are heavier.

Crappy lands and grooves LOL, who is doing that in 2017 -- Certainly not anyone making barrels for AI...

The WIN TAC barrels are Bartlein, WIN TAC makes barrels for AINA, get one and be done. You can spec an AI you don't have to buy it as it comes. Call Mile High

I was not referencing that barrels made for/or by AI were crappy, at least that's not what I meant. Just stating that one cannot look at twist rate alone.

No too side track to much, but tell us what aftermarket barrels people are buying with crappy lands and grooves ?

Most opt for higher end, Bartlein, Kreiger, Rock, etc I have not heard of them having crappy internal dimensions

Reading between the lines it would seem some are suggesting our 1-12 AI barrels are "crappy" LOL
