[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1105331, member: 30743"] There's not much with heavier bullets in factory offerings, but the 1-9" twist will shoot the lighter stuff just as well as the 1-12" so there's no downside to it. Longer, higher B.C. bullets are the trend for the future so it's a matter of time before ammo makers start catering to that market. Also, if you shoot this rifle much you will want to start handloading. You'll find it gets real expensive real quick to feed anything other than a .223 or .308 factory ammo and what you load yourself is higher quality than what you'll get from a factory. If accuracy and performance are your goals, which is usually the case for someone on a forum named long range hunting, then you'll need to handload. When you do start handloading the natural inclination is to start experimenting with bullets to see which give the best performance. From experience I can tell you it's frustrating to see a bullet you'd like to try only to run it through a twist rate calculator and find it won't stabilize in your rifle. Make it easy on yourself and get the faster twist. There's no downside to it and one day you'll be glad you did. [/QUOTE]
