[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 1693618, member: 110890"] I appreciate all the respectful advice. I realize that “more efficient” is rather relative. This comment was based on my 10 twist barrel which restricts me to lighter for caliber options. I had tried the 150 Bergers, but they didn’t seem to work with my twist and altitude (500’). I’ve decided to simply go with a new barrel maybe a 7.5 or 8 twist to accommodate the 170 EOL’s and the 156g Hammer Hunters. This raises a few more questions for lack of personal experience: 1) Since I already have the carbon barrel, I’d prefer to stick with something similar (& 24”) due to its use as a mountain rifle/long-range combination. Fierce is the only company I found that would do the custom twist that I want. Any experience or thoughts on their carbon barrels? 2) With so much of a faster twist, what will happen if I push something lighter like the 145 ELD-X at 3200 fps like I am now? 3) Any experience with this caliber to give me an idea of what velocity I can expect for the heavier bullets I mentioned above?
