[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 65403, member: 10"] Trebor, First off welcome to LRH!! I have a 1-10 twist in my Kahn and it will handle the 350s out to 500 yards. I have not tested them yet at serious range but will soon. I am getting 3050 fps in the 338 Kahn. In the Lapua, Richard Graves told me that his factory sako shot the bullets very well as far as accuracy with its 1-9.5 twist I believe it was but velocity was only in the 2500 fps range because he had to seat the bullets so deep. In a properly throated single shot rifle, or repeater used as a single shot, the Lapua would probalby play with the 2750 fps level depending on barrel length. If I were to build a 338 Lapua and was going to use this bullet, I would look at a 1-9 twist just to be on the safe side. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
