    I have the NOE copy of this bullet, it does work well in an AR with the right twist.

    You mean 1/12 and not 1/7 right?

    Yea, a 1-7 is going to be VERY difficult to get cycling and accuracy. I've had good luck with a 1-9 with 16-18gr of H4985 and an intermediate length gas. I do have a new to me Encore 15" 223 pistol barrel with a 1-12" that I'm planning on using cast in.

    Why ?
    What does a faster twist rate have to do with degraded cycling?

    I like the 1/9 twist it seems to work with the most bullets.
