Im probably going to get hammered for this!

The 1/9 twist works best with the lighter loads up to 62 grains. I shoot store bought 55 grainers, it's very good with them. Don't worry too much about the heavier bullets to start with, the right AR can still make the 55's very accurate at 400 yards. If this was my first AR, I'd start out with the 1/9 twist, shoot factory ammo {55 grain} and learn from there. Mike
