    Yes these are designed for use in AR mags.

    As far as stability goes, you'll just have to try it.
    General rule of thumb is usually 1:9 twist are only good up to the 69gr bullets but that isn't gospel.
    If the stability calculator says you are ok then give it a ago.

    I'm currently working on a load with the 75gr BTHPs in my 18" 1:8.
    Am getting around 2750 with either Benchmark 2 or ADI 8208.
    2208 was super slow.
