So the down side of not getting to the range and not buying new toys is thinking. Now overall the M1 carbine and ammo are "not accurate" maybe US Good Inuff but not really good.

That said i often wonder why the M1 carbine design team ended up at 1/20 twist?

Part of me says 1/20 was good enough and easier/quicker to manufacture. I am awaiting a email response on a custom twist barrel for my blue sky import marked inland carbine.
 
With factory ammo, all 3 of my M1 carbines will hit a 6" circle @ 100 yards. I don't shoot at stuff further away so it's fine for me.

My last 2 deer were taken with one of those and both were heart shots at 75 and 100 yards. 1 round, one deer.
