[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 258301, member: 10654"] I agree that a 1:11 twist will stabilize a 200gr AB, however I would go with a 1:10 twist. Why use a borderline twist rate when there is no harm in a slightly faster twist to make sure you stablilize the bullet. At the velocities you are dealing with in a 300WM, the 1:10 twist is the way to go. If the rifle your buying is a "tack driver w/ 168gr" there would be nothing wrong with buying it. A 168gr Berger is a great bullet for deer or elk. I would however verify that what the guy is telling you is corect before I bought it. [/QUOTE]
