If you were to re-barrel an old Springfield 1922 that had been converted to Hornet, would you use a 1-16 .223 barrel as the originals had, or would you put a .224 barrel of a little faster twist to take advantage of today's better bullets. Many of the new plastic tipped, boat tail bullets will not stabilize in the 1-16 barrels, not to mention they are all .224 diameter. Would it make a difference to you if it was just a re-barrel to restore an old rifle, or if it was a complete rebuild as new work?
No wrong answer here in my opinion, but I'd like to hear others thoughts.
Thanks,
