Won't the 52gr load be too light for that 1:8 spin?

I guess I just need to get the gun in my hands and start seeing what it "likes." 50 rounds at a time.

I use 52gr SMK's with 26.5grs. WW748 and BR4 primers as my 100yd load. This load hammers in all my AR's. The barrel twist rates go from 1 in 8" to 1 in 6.5". No problems with any of them.

when you get a hornady LNL press thats 400 just for the press, + plates and dies, scales, dial calipers, case trimmer, shell holders for the trimmer, bullet pullers and collets, tumbler, bins to keep everything in order. loading books, plastic bullet holders to keep loaded rounds in after your done.
