I have not heard of a problem

I know I see people running various 50-55 grain bullets fast out of 20" 1:8 barrels. I don't know that I've seen a 1:7 barrel but somebody makes 1:6.5 barrels for the guys shooting 90 grain bullets. I think if you loaded up 40 or 45 grain bullets intended for a .22Hornet and such you could have vaporization before hitting the target. I've heard that the 1:8 barrels work really well with bullets like the 60 grain Sierra.

  - Do you think a 7" twist is too much for 55 grain bullets? - rob, 2015-12-05, 21:42
