[QUOTE="Yoshie, post: 491116, member: 32609"] oh, i see. May i ask why you chose a 1:10 twist? shouldn't a 1:11 or 1:12 be sufficient to stabilize the 177gr bullet? seems how im new to long range hunting... how important is a repeater? if i plan to make max 800 - 900 yard shots, theres no way i could shoot one on the move. so i should have time in between shots to reload. I do recall a few episodes of best of the west where they did a quick follow up shot on a few animals that just stood there after clearly being hit. I had been thinking about a 300 RUM due to the extra energy and flatter trajectory i would get (that would help unexpected variables like updrafts in canyons etc.). ill check around for a wyatts box!
