[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 113621, member: 4491"] hjl, i don't think you need a 7 twist even for the 200 wildcats. an 8 will be more than enough and a 9 will work 99% of the time.the problem with a 7 twist is most have a lilja 3 groove and that's just not enough rifling, in my opinion. a 5 or 6 groove would work better, especially if it's a canted land design. personally i think a 180 berger is a better bullet and a 9 twist will work best with the 160-180 gr bullet weights.i agree about the lighter weight bullets,just a waste of time with this cartridge.
