[QUOTE="Hunter2678, post: 675977, member: 47460"] Just some quick questions and input from the 6br crowd. I'm going to re-barrel my 22-250 in a 6br and was curious if anyone has any experience running lighter bullets 75-85 gns in an 8 twist barrel. I'm in the process of ordering a kreiger 1 inch bull at least 28 inches most likely w/an 8 twist and am on the fence between a 9 or 8 twist. Is that 8 too fast of a twist to choke out the lighter weight bullets in that 75-85 gn range? Obviously the 8 twist is for running the 105-108s but Id like to have the right balance to run a lighter varmint style bullet without hamstringing velocity too much as well. I want to run the lighter varmint rounds for varmint use and then have the ability to run the 95+ gners for the windy days Thanks. [/QUOTE]
