[QUOTE="hatfield954, post: 535780, member: 31046"] I can't think of a disadvantage of having a faster twist rate right at this moment. I found out a faster twist rate requires a heavier grain bullet to stabilize better for accuracy. A 1 in 12 twist rate is slow and should stabilize better with a lighter grain bullet, like 150's. You can find factory ammo even lighter than that if you just had to. I don't know what the terminal ballistics would be like at that range with a bullet lighter than a 150. I had a remington .270 and had to use the heaviest grain bullet i could find to get it to shoot good groups. It had a fast twist of 1 in 8. Barrel length may be one factor to your question. [/QUOTE]
