I'm getting a .300BLK bbl. made. I am having it cut 14.5" with a carbine length gas system. It will be suppressed with an AAC SDN6.
I plan on using bullet weights from 110 to 220 or 240 grains. I'd like to optimize the twist rate for heavier bullets and I know how to do that using the formula, but I would think that twist would be the worst for the 110 (and may not stabilize it at all?).
What experiences do those of you that have the .300BLK have? What twist rate do you have and do you experience unstable bullet flight? With what bullet weights? If you have the twist optimized for heavy bullets, how do your lighter ones fare? How light can you go before you get problems with accuracy and stability?
Just looking for as much information as I can get, and thanks!
