[QUOTE="kellyzier, post: 363537, member: 22137"] Noel, for what it's worth, I really hope you continue to refine your 431 gr banded solid for a 1:8 constant twist barrel. I'm still waiting for the results from the NV shoot, but even in this early stage the 1:8 twist looks promising for the 431 gr. I think you will always have two oppisites sides of the spectrum with regards to shooters (long range hunters and long range shooters). But there is a growing group of guys like me that are hunters and long range shooters. In the cheytac 375 cal, it looks like we can shoot a handful of bullets including the 350 smk's with the Lawton type of 1:8 twist. And although this looks to be the bottom floor (in the twist dept), of the SMK's, it looks to be the upper end of the 431 banded bullet. And even though the 1:8 looks to be the raged edge of both bullets, it gives guys like me direction when choosing barrels. I've been waiting to order my 375 allen mag barrel pending the results of the NV shoot, but I'm not sure I can wait. I may just go with the 1:8 and hope that my assumptions are correct about both the smk and the 431 banded bullets. If the 431 can stabilize in a 1:8 constant twist, I think this bullet will be a great product!!!!! Thanks KZ [/QUOTE]
