    @Bill999 , it looks like you watched that video about the 338 creedmoor or something like that.
    I am not convinced that Going super fast twist in 338 will bring any real benefits as they pretend in that video.
    We will see how it works for you once you build that rifle. Good luck with the project.

    I'm keen to give it a shot, things I will need arnt really available yet around the 8.6creed so I'm going to put that on the back burner and give more information a chance to come out.
    Apparently the 1-5 twist barrels in ar15 blackout pistol length barrels work really well. I'm looking at a 11 inch barrel (breachface to barrel end) and slower twists are ok in longer barrels where there is more time in the barrel for the bullet to stabilise. I'm fitting in somewhere between these two with short but not super short.
    At this stage my plan is to send it to trueflight and get ask them to fit a premium suppressor 1-8, unless I can find something a little quicker twist
