[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 831796, member: 35183"] 95 gr Match Grade Classic Hunter 0.427 0.219 1.070 1:10″ 24570 95 gr Match Grade VLD Hunting 0.480 0.246 1.150 1:9″ 24527 105 gr Match Grade VLD Hunting 0.532 0.272 1.235 1:8″ 24528 115 gr Match Grade VLD Hunting 0.545 0.279 1.365 1:7″ 24530 According to the Berger data the "classic hunter" is made for 1:10 twist. I was trying the "Match grade VLD hunting" and it did not work out. It was a brand new, not a shot out barrel. 15 minute barrel swap and the 1:8 twist barrel was shooting the exact same loads beautifully. I am also at 1000ft and was doing the testing in 20-30F. Summer temperatures work better for marginal cases, but that does not help much when the load does not shoot come season... For what the OP wants, the 1:8 is the best choice. If he wants to do 115 only, then a custom 1:7. I'm sure those blanks are not that common. [/QUOTE]
