[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 852031, member: 11717"] Do you mean accuracy or velocity? Accuracy is going to depend mostly on the quality of rifle components and and smithing. As I mentioned earlier, the larger magnum calibers are a little more susceptible to barrel harmonics but with good components and smithing they can be made to shoot very well. Your BR competuiton guys are going to usually shoot the smaller 6's and and 6.5's for 1's and 2's groups but they are going to have slower twists. If I had a 7 twist barrel I would probably chamber it in a 6.5 Dakota. That said, a 6.5 WSM or or 264 WM would work fine but they are going to be a little tough on the barrel. Never the less guys do chamber in those. If you take good care of the barrel it should last over a 1000 rounds. [/QUOTE]
