[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1475694, member: 10755"] Wildcat455, I don’t think there will be a problem with the 1:7.5” twist with billets in the 156-165gr weight/length. I don’t use any pills lighter than 130gr, so it shouldn’t bother them. I usually run 140-142gr pills, so the twist that fast shouldn’t bother them. The EW is an unknown quantity at present regarding throat length, however my EW in 338WM is significantly shorter than my Classic Stainless I had in the same cartridge, about .080” shorter in fact. The mag box runs 3.400”. The chamber is also far tighter. I have heard over the inter web that the 264’s have a throat only .060” long TOTAL! This is way too short for me, my 700 barrel is throated for 140gr Berger or Nosler ABLR 142’s. The RDF line will also fit nicely in the .200” throat. My comp guns run .220” for some extra wiggle room for powder. If the EW is short, I will extend it to .200” so I can run well into 3200fps with 140-142gr pills. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
