[QUOTE="436, post: 599831, member: 16609"] Your twist 1.9.25" should work fine, as bullet start reaching 160gr and up to say 175gr some folks say the 1-9 twist might be better. The 1.9 twist is usually found in rifles like the 7x57mm which were set up for the 175gr bullets original. Going much heaver than 140gr seem to defeat the purpose of the cartridge, you have to start seating very deep into the case and/or have a lot of magazine room and long throat in the rifle. As for moving up to a higher performance cartridge... like the 284 Win, 280 Rem or 7mm WSM you might as well just jump to a 7mm Rem Mag and have done with it. Me’.., I had a Winchester M70 Featherweight in 7x57mm I shot mostly 175gr round nose in it. Wish now I’d never sold that rifle, a great Whitetail rifle, and timber Elk rifle Good Luck 436 [/QUOTE]
