i've shot the 200's out of a 30" 7 twist. 2900 was my accurate speed. this was with 872 powder.i'm sure it would shoot faster with retumbo or another powder. the 180 bergers were around 3250 with the same powder.

Thanks for the info, Dave. Wow, in either situation they are hard to beat for a cartridge that doesn't invove fireforming.

you're doing the right thing with the 9 twist. go with the 175,176, and 180 bullets. find the best one for your gun and don't look back.
