I have two AR 15's one with a 16" 1 in 8 barrel and one with a 20" 1 in 9 barrel. I was reloading different bullets to different OAL according to the bullet manufacturers. Then I decided to load them all to 2.255 and was surprised to find they all shot better with the longer OAL.
Has anyone else found this to be the case with your OAL ?
