[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 360839, member: 1563"] Kelly, I don't think you can get the best of both worlds with one twist rate. My barrel was designed so i could shoot the 350 smk and some customs longer like the 6 cal. ZA bullet, i have not shot any of these so i can't comment. Augustus stated that the 6.5 cal might need a 6.5" ending twist to stabilize it, and im pretty sure the jacketed bullet would come apart in that barrel. My barrel might work for that particular bullet, but i know it will not work for the 7 cal. lenght bullets. If your going to build a rifle for the loooong bullets then that is all you will be able to shoot. It would be a dedicated rifle. OR you can get an extra barrel and have a Switch gun set up to shoot a wider range of bullets. I mainly shoot the SMK's, RockyMtns, Predators and HATS when they come out. Any bullet that has a BC over .900 will be a monster down range. So you have to decide on what bullet your going to shoot and build the rifle around that. Dave [/QUOTE]
