geordiefarrier Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Im wanting to buy myself a custom ssr-15 speedmaster in .223 but so far have only been offered a 1 in 8 barrel twist which isnt really much good to me because i want it for foxing and plan to use a much lighter round than that barrel would be any good for, if anyone has had a good 1 in 10 or 1 in 12 barrel made for there speedmaster id appreciate any help or advice they had for me.. cheers Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streeker59 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Guy... My hunting bud has a Speedmaster 1 in 8" tube and he's been using my Berger 60 grn flat based hollow points over 26 grns Varget through it. More than man enough for charlie and 0.5 moa at 200 yards.. What more could you want ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menial 1 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Would this not be good enough for foxing with an AR15 Guy? Shot with this rifle. 1-8 twist is the way forward with an AR, gives you the chance to get out to 600yds or more with 70gr+ bullets. I use mine mainly for fox/vermin/plinking with 55gr Blitzking because it's cheap to run and just plain good fun to shoot. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 There's no point in going slower, it's only taking a step backwards. Sure people can build you a slower twist barrelled rifle, but you'll have to wait until they get that particular blank in as people like SGC and myself only really keep 8 twists in stock. Menial1 was of the old way of thinking until I made him a believer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Hi Pete, thanks for that its made my mind up to go for the 1 in 8 twist bull flutted barrel i had planned to and at £241 its alot cheaper than going down the route of new barrels. much appreciated advice thanks again...

baldie Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Get in touch with Mark Bradley [ Bradders on here] . I own a speedmaster personally, and if i wanted another ar15 i would go to Mark instead. I personally think his rifle,s are better. He would also taylor it more to your needs.

Menial1 was of the old way of thinking until I made him a believer 'Tis true, the 40gr loading was just an experiment after somebody had told me you can't shoot light bullets accurately with 1-8. The group could have been tighter but it was below freezing and my hands were about dropping off. Cheers for the advice Mark, I was indeed a doubter. Pete.
