[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 725235, member: 21068"] That might take some research to answer. At some point above 6XC, 243, 6mm remington we cross the threshold of way overbore. Where exactly that happens I don't really know, but it happens. We start burning more and more powder to get smaller and smaller increases in velocity. With the increase in powder goes faster and faster throat erosion. Either way, which ever cartridge you decide, you'll want 7, 7.5 or 8 twist for the 115s and 8 or 8.5 (maybe 9 twist if your altitude is higher) for the 105-107 bullets. My first AI 6-47Lapua had a 9 and stabilized the 105s just fine, but I am at 4200'. [/QUOTE]
