Anyone have experience with both of these barrels? CMMG is 1:16 twist, BB is 1:12. Interested in differences in accuracy with 40 gr. + projectiles.

If you're concerned about accuracy, you should consider a longer barrel.  Otherwise, I wouldn't think there'd be a hill of beans difference between the two inside 25yds.

This is great advice.  12" minimum if you are concerned about accuracy.  1-12" twist is great for bullets heavier than 40gr.  1-16" will not stabilize the 60gr Aguila loads.  The accuracy between an Apogee Match in any length that is available (12"/16"/21") is going to be much much better than a 4.5" barrel.

I have a used but like new 4.5 CMMG that I would sell you pretty cheap. I replaced it with a 16” pencil barrel.  It is pretty accurate inside of 25yds with a red dot.
