[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 717587, member: 2736"] Typically a to fast twist rate will/may cause jacket separation at higher velocities and engrave poorly on lighter bullets. When building a rifle for one bullet you run the risk of being stuck if the rifle doesen't like that bullet. I have seen a lot of this when going to very fast twist rates. If you go with a 1:10 twist it will shoot all bullets well and you are not confined to only one projectile. It is harder to start Big heavy bullets rotating on firing and one answer is gain twist. I have never seen an advantage in gain twist and found the all round recomended twist to be the best. Most bench rest shooters normally shoot a slower twist than we do foe better engraving and minimal bullet damage. There are a lot of 338/378s that shoot the 300 grain bullets extremely well and they have 1:10 twist. so it is not required only recomended by the bullet maker. My 338 RUM shoots everything well from 180s to 300s and it has a 1:10 twist. Do what you want and hopefully it will shoot the 300s with the 1:85 twist. A 1:95 might be a good twist compramize if you want to shoot 250 to 300 grain bullets. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
