[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 648566, member: 505"] In the late 90's I did a 300 RUM with a 1-14 twist specifically to shoot 150 grain bullets as a point and shoot lazer to 600 or so yards as a whitetail beanfield rifle for a guy. It shot great and the velocity was incredible with the slower twist. Only do the slower twist if it is a specialty rifle for one purpose. If you plan on shooting out toward 1000 yards with it get a 1-10 and shoot heavier bullets. But for a point and shoot 600 yard lazer it is fun to shoot. I carried it to Alaska caribou hunting and it made caribou amazingly easy. That was when rangefinders were just coming on the market and none were worth a flip on the tundra. So a rifle like this with very little drop was the way to go. Now with good rangefinders the light and fast point and shoot way is dying out since drop is not as important. Now wind is the primary factor since rangefinders solve the drop problem. Didn't use to be that way though. [/QUOTE]
