[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 76697, member: 5"] Kirby: I know what you mean about the surprise. I fully expected to see some really funny holes in the paper but so far they are nice and round. I'd of bet money they would be flopping like a fish out of water but who knows why they didn't. Shape of bullet, bearing surface, ogive etc., velocity??? Some combination seems to work, at least for now. I can't wait to see what the results will be with the 1-9 barrel with your 7mm Allen Magnum. Don't know what that other round is you're talking about, but I know you're testing, and building for me, a 7mm Allen Magnum. It's going to be interesting seeing the results you get with the 1-9 and then progressing to the 1-7 barrels!!! I don't think you'll get the same results with your 1-9 as I did. I think you will do better. I fully agree that the 1-7 is probably the best combination and would also prefer to spin them a little more than needed as opposed to not enough. I did talk to you guys about the twist factors and in fact talked to Richard just recently about this and he also felt that the faster twist would be better. The general concensus is I'm about at least 2" off in twist. I didn't think it'd work, but I'm getting antsy about the new gun so just decided to go out and play, thinking I'd make a couple of keyholes and then quit. I still wouldn't bet they will work well in my twist but I'm going to find out. I know for now they are punching round holes but the proof will be in the groups and shooting at longer ranges. One thing I'll mention that I noticed as soon as I switched to the 200's was that I could feel a difference in gun torque with the 200's. That's a big pill to launch out of a 7mm, but there's no mistaking when and where they hit. Guess I'll just keep playing with my toy gun until the new package arrives with the real 7mm Allen Magnum.
