[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 23825, member: 34"] I too agree with Bountyhunter concerning his thoughts on the 240 gr bullets. They tend to want larger case capacity cartriges to perform well in the LR hunting fields. I too shoot 1000 yd benchrest compititions and for paper, the smaller cases are fine. For wind bucking across the mountain ridges, more velocity is needed so the bullet will perform well on game. The same holds true for the 300 gr 338. You need more velocity and that means longer barrels and more case capacity. The 10 twist will stabilize the 200, 220 AND 240 gr bullets VERY well. You don't really need the 9 twist for the 240 however, some barrel manufacturers recomend it. I shot the 10 twist and 240 gr bullets in the 300 Tomahawk and the 30/378. Those rounds and the 10 twist also like the 220 and 200 gr bullets too. Who ever thought afew years ago that the 11 twist would work so well with 210 to 220 gr bullets?? They work just fine even though most barrel makers "WERE" suggesting 10 twist for those bullet weights. Later and good hunting/shooting to all. DC [/QUOTE]
