[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 152819, member: 7999"] Thank you guys for the info. I got interested in the mono metal bullets because I was having trouble with the lead core bullets working properly at high velocities. (I am what you all call a short range hunter.) Started out looking at the Lost River bullets, wound up looking at the GS Custom Bullets web site. Found alot of great info. Turns out the mono metal bullet is long for weight, which means it need faster twist to stabilize. I had this new Lilja barrel built 30", knew I wanted to use the GS bullets, but was chicken to go w/ the 8 twist for fear that I would want to go back to 200 to 250 grain bullets. The 173 grn GS requires a 1 in 8 twist for good stabilization inside 600 yrds. So I am going to give the 160 GS's a go. It should be fun to see if I can get up to the 3800fps + range. This would be great for my short range hunting, should allow me to shoot nearly 500yrds with out a range finder. My twist is 1 in 10. Thanks again, Steve [/QUOTE]
