Actually, didn't you mean to say it's a slower twist?
1/7 = one full revolution of the bullet in 7 inches. Faster.
1/8 = one full revolution in 8 inches. medium.
1/9 = one full revolution in 9 inches, which will be slower.

62gr & 75gr Speer Gold Dot is my choice for defense ammo in my ARs.

Johnny's Reloading Bench has a great YouTube video on them with ballistics tests.

Sorry but I'm not sure how to embed a YouTube vids on this forum.

Just for fun, I'll post a link to a youtube video of a guy named Paul Harrell's video on the differences between 55 grn ball, and 62 grn penetrator rounds.
Mr. Harrell always puts out good videos pertaining to shooting.

Maybe not quite the same thing, but I have a recorded load of 62gr FMJ-BT with 24.5 grains H-335 that chronoed 2724 out of my BREN 805...if that helps at all.
