[QUOTE="Justice1327, post: 2542119, member: 117337"] I just got my custom built 260 Remington back. It is a 24 inch Bartlein 3B contour. It was supposed to be 1-8 twist. It is even stamped on the barrel. While I was cleaning it I noticed the cleaning rod was spinning fairly quick. Most of my rifles are 1-9 or 1-10 twist. So I decided to measure the twist and five out of five times I came up with a 1-7 twist. Now I can’t say if Bartlein sent the wrong barrel or if the builder simply used the wrong barrel. I don’t feel 1-7 is optimal for the 120 to 140 grain I had planned on using and I don’t want to waste components trying to find out. So my question is this: since I have a 1-7 twist is that a better twist for hammer/mono bullets? I have never shot them and do not know the unique details of reloading for them.(bullet Weight and pwdr load)This gun was intended to be a deer rifle with some 700 yard and under steel target shooting. Recommendations are appreciated. [/QUOTE]
