JFC, I shoot the 240 gr Sierras in a Krieger 1-10 twist that I have on my 300 wby heavy gun and it simply shoots great (even at a relatively low velocity of roughly 2800fps). Originally I was facing the same dilemma and was about to order a 1-9 twist, but my gunsmith, who has been shooting and...

Fifty, What and awesome looking rifle… What are you doing about reloading dies? I assume you will have to use a fifty press. Also have you ever run the numbers for the drop in mins at 2000 or 2500 yds? The Ivey rings might be perfect for this project. That gun is going to be a flat shooting...
