[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 4222, member: 22"] Brent, FYI: Having some trouble with my ISP right now and haven't been getting emails for the last 1.5days. I'm at work right now and sent a test message from my work account to my personal account and it never showed up. Will respond to your emails as soon as I can. IF I get them at all..... You are right on the location of the crack. It's about .040 below the shoulder/neck joint. After firing they are easy to see because they turn black in that area from gas escaping and carbon buildup. I cleaned it up for the pic though. AKI, I've always used 10' twist in the 338 with the 300gr bullets. I know of another 338 Yogi with an 11" twist that shoots very well and another guy that says a 12" will work with the 300gr bullets, but I've never seen it myself. It's got to be border line though. With the 250gr Scenar a 12" should be perfect. I talked to Dan Lilja a year or so back and he said 12" is a no-go with 300gr and a 12" is good for the 250gr class bullets. My next barrel will be a 11" twist for the 300gr bullets. Hope this helped. Steve [/QUOTE]
