[QUOTE="steve_77, post: 36990, member: 502"] Hmm I guess it would seem then that a 26" or 24" barrel of twist 1 in 8.5" would be good and offer more versatility as far as loads are concerned. I suppose the average weight of the loads I would use is 120gn, but would like the ability to load like 85-142gn bullets for a bit extra versatility, I understand this might not be possible - ill ty contacting shilen and hart and see what they say, I just want a wide variety of loads available. Heard alot from a few cusom shops who say that the use of light bullets in the 1 in 8 can cause overstabilization issues resulting in poor accuracy due to bullet yaw. was thinking of compromise with 1 in 8.5" but not sure -- any comments/ suggestions?
