[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 597815, member: 22242"] 10 twist is pretty much the standard, at lapua velocities you will have no problem with 300 grain lead core bullets (ie SMK, Berger..) Ballistically they are basically equal, some guys will say one is better than the other by 50 feet or so but nothing thats really measurable in the field. I went with a Lapua based soley on the Lapua Brass offering. I wanted as accurate of a round as possible without neck turning. There are a lot of factors though, the Lapua isnt "simple" if you want to build on a 700 action and make it a repeater itll need some action work, and normal priming tools like the Lee arent useable, there are a few special purchases that will need to be made... In the end I am glad I went with the Lapua [/QUOTE]
