my wife bought me a stag model 1 in 5.56m.m. ive used this type of wepon before, this one is a 1x10 twist barrel, well this still handle my 55grain plinkers, hope so as i have over 3500 of them, allready orderd a model 5h in6.8spc and realy hope this lives up to its advertisments, never liked the m16 but i started on a m1 went to a m14, cried like a baby when they finaly caught up with me and made me take the m attel toy, it was destroyed in action and i scrouuged up a savage pump from some recon troops no problems as i was getting REAL short just worried over the 1 in10 twist blowing upmt 55 grain slugs

Stag offered in a 1:10 Twist? Odd, I thought all of their Model 1's were in 1:9. hmmmm.

Even at 1:10, I don't think you should have any issues with 55gr. I don't know that I would buy a case of 69 to 75gr, without trying them first. but 55gr should be okay. That's not a lot of difference in twist between the 1:10 to 1:9, and the 1:9 will handle up most 69gr and some up to 73gr with no probs.

You can always give Stag a call to be safe, but I don't think it will be an issue, UNLESS those rounds are loaded HOT or something like that.

LOL...no problem. Happens to all of us...AGE that is

By the way...great gift. And the 6.8SPC, is a really good round. For a while they were hard to find, heck almost all ammo was for a while. But they are starting to show up more and more now, with different loads, including Soft Points. Silver State Armory - 6.8SPC ammo
