I'm new to the forum and I'm looking to build an AR. I've tried to do quite a bit of research and thought where better to look than at this forum. My question is what do you experts think the best rate of twist would be with an 18inch barrel if I wanted to shoot the new 53 grain Vmax bullets? I'm looking at either 1:12 or 1:10 made by Mike at Dtechsuperstore. Main use will be coyotes and also an additional gun to have when I got to the prarie dog towns.

Thoughts?

Thx in advance!
