[QUOTE="MontanaMarine, post: 1014699, member: 268"] I'm not sure I would agree that the 1/11 is "much better" than 1/10 for a long range 30-06. I'd say you are splitting some very fine hairs. With bullets like the 208 Amax, 210 Berger, 215 Berger, 225 Hornady 220gr Sierra/Nosler and similar, the 1/10 is about perfect. Not only for stability to the target, but also for reducing the odds of the bullet tumbling in the target. I'm shooting a 22.5" 1/10 twist #7 contour on my heavy 30-06. 208 Amax at 2720 fps, 225 Hdy at 2600 fps. Both fly well, way past 1000 yards. The rifle also does very well with the lighter stuff, including 110gr VMax, and 155gr Scenar, among others. [/QUOTE]
