[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 229551, member: 376"] I have used some 190gr bullets, both SMKs and Bergers, from 1-12" twists just fine. Normally I stick w/ a 155 running fast for my F-Class stuff... but I have to admit I'm curious about the 'heavies'. Usually my barrels (set up more for 155-175gr bullets) are a wee bit short in the throat for the 210gr pills w/o starting to significantly cut into the powder capacity - thats why I was surprised at Shawn's results w/ the 208 stuffed that far into the case. After reading this thread, I got ta thinking... I *do* have that spare 'take-off' 1-12" twist barrel from my 12 F/TR... if I find a local 'smith w/ a throating reamer (that I trust not to f-ck up a good shooting barrel), perhaps I can set that one up for some testing... I hear lots of promising things about N550 and such behind the heavy bullets. [/QUOTE]
