Best barrel or upper for copper bullets - mdw - 06-28-2016

Hi Guys,
I am in Kommifornia and must shoot copper bullets. Is there any particular barrel or upper that seems to be more accurate with the copper bullets? Right now I am looking at the Odin Works 18" bbl or AA lightweight or hunter upper.

I dont think I ever read anything saying one barrel was better with cooper rounds then anouther but Im sure if its a barrel built by a proven company with sammi specs it would be accurate.

Hope this helps sir.

Just make sure you have a tight enough twist. 1:9 is probably marginal for 120 gr. monometal bullets. Best to stay with a 1:8 or even 1:7.5 twist.
