I have 11 or 12 ARs and they are a mixture of 7 8 9 twists but I seldom shoot anything bigger than 62gr.

Me too, but I have to train with heavy bullets. That said, as good as 77 OTM's are on humans, I always wonder what a light v-max like varmint exploder would do to an unarmored human body.

PS I just finished building the upper and am getting ready to handload Wilson Combat's 7.62x40 WT. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I have powder, primers and brass, waiting for Barnes TTSX 110g's to arrive, then I'll load.

I have high hopes. I'm not a fan of AR-10 platforms (parts compatibility issues) and this is a nice 7.62 option to plop in a 5.56 bolt on an AR-15 lower.

Not very deep penetration but you hit someone in the right spot and that's devastating.

So... I was at the Dulles Expo Center Gun Show today.
I finally decided on a carry weapon.
I was just about to go with a Ruger LC9s Pro when the guy said to have a look at S&W.
So...
Got a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm with three mags (one flush, two extended).
After rebate - $288 including taxes.
Thanks to all for the advice

And if you ever feel like your barrel has too much twist for your ammo, just shorten it up a bit, less than 10" is a popular length
