Heard from my brother at SHOT that AAC is going 1/7 twist...
Is 1/8 twist on the way out?
If so, what is the reasoning behind this change?

Re: Is 1/8 twist on the way out?
I was told by a really good shooter that he was changing his 300 Whisper over to 1:7. He believed it would keep the subsonics stable a little longer after they hit before tumbling.
I'd be interested if AAC was going 1:7, although I doubt it's for subsonic terminal performance.

I forgot what thread I read but if I remember correctly Robert did confirm the 1 in 7 and again if I remember correctly it was for 240 SMK's. I think the question was raised due to a picture of a barrel with 1 in 7 stamped on it in a review of the 300 on Gunblast.

Haven't found the thread but here is a link to the Gunblast review:

Note the picture on the bottom right hand side with the 1 in 7 twist indicated.

The new Remington Scout/Tactical rifle is a 300 BLK that has a heavier profile barrel in 1:7 and a better stock.. but no one piece scope rail..
ETA image and clarify "Scout Rifle" as TACTICAL rifle

Long distance, the next best thing to being there!

I've had issues with the SMK 240's. If the 1 in 7" barrels help, then I'm all for it.
Re: Is 1/8 twist on the way out?
Well... looks like there might be something to it. Hot off the internet presses
Re: Is 1/8 twist on the way out?
I'm curious about the 300 Blackout 1/7" ARs, any news?

This is part of a thread I was trying to recall earlier. I know that I also read on a thread in December about the Gunblast article and someone asked about the 1 in 7 and Robert said it is for the 240's. Maybe my memory is wrong though.
