Hello, I have a question. I'm buying my first 223 semi auto and i am really interested in Ruger MPR 16". But since i'd mostly use 55gr and 62gr ammo, i wonder how does this Ruger's 1:8 twist like 55gr ammo? I just got a decent amount of Hornady GMX 55gr and few brands of 62gr SP at really cheap price, so i wonder how would the light GMX do in this rifle? Any experiences you guys have with this combo?

That twist will handle those weights nicely. Avoid the heavier and lighter ends of the weight range,
