I read in new On Target magazine that Les Baer going to 1-10 twist in 204 AR rifle. They were getting 1/2 inch or less with 5 shot groups using 32 & 34 gr. bullets. I am glad to see someone doing this as it will make 40gr. bullets shoot with 32gr. for accuracy. I think 1-12 is very borerline for 40gr. which is what all the manufactures are using. I am hopeing more manufactures will look at 1-11 or 1-10 so we can use heavier bullets more effectively. No Name bullets has 45gr. bullet and rumors of major bullet manufactures doing 45's, but I don't think they would shoot in 1-12 twist.
I am having 20 BR made up and went with 1-11 krieger so I could use 40-45 gr. bullets. I wonder now if I shouldn't gone with 1-10. I have 1-9 for my 20-250 and use 50gr. Bergers but 40gr. bullets don't shoot.
I think 45gr. would be ideal in 204 for long range PD's and most of all long range coyote hunting.
