[QUOTE="Tamarac, post: 847982, member: 61511"] @ benchracer - Ya know, I don't know why I had it in my head it was a #3 contour. I bought the barrel right after my Navy discharge 6 years ago. I measured the barrel and compared it with the specs in the Brownells big book and it looks like I have a #7 contour. I kinda remember that I didn't go with a 1-8" twist was that Brownells didn't offer that in at the time. I'd also heard other people say that their 1-9" twists may properly stabilize the heavier 130 or even 140 grain bullets. I may get some 10 round sample boxes and give them a try. Thanks everyone for all the awesome comments. [/QUOTE]
