Smitty, I am going to have to disagree with you on this. A 1/7 twist will stabilize a longer projectile than a 1/9 twist, and it may be more accurate with a given load, but that does not make a 1/7 twist more accurate than a 1/9 twist with all loads.

The 1/9 twist is better suited for the 55 gr load they were using, but each barrel is different. Perhaps his barrel would do better with a different projectile of the same weight...
