Admittedly I don't know a lot about ballistics, grains, twists, etc..
I took my .300BLK AR pistol out today to sight in the Vortex Spitfire II. Rounds were on target and the optic was dialing in OK, but closer inspection of the target revealed some serious tumbling. Long, narrow holes on target that made it apparent the bullet it was going through completely sideways.
So please help me understand what's going on.
9.5" barrel, marked "1/9.5 T 125gr"
Gemtech 7.62 HVT
Ammo1 - Sig Sauer Elite Performance "match grade" subsonic 220 gr.
Ammo 2 - SilencerCo Harvester subsonic 220 gr. sierra matchkind
Ammo 1 was the first used to sight things in and was the worst. Bullet holes with Ammo 2 were much cleaner, but still appeared to have a little bit of tumble.
So, what says the forum?
