[QUOTE="trebark, post: 491133, member: 19172"] I chose 1:10 because I might shoot the 240grain Sierra Match King (Sierra actually recommends 1:9, but the conventional wisdom says 1:10 will do). If don't intend to shoot the 240 and the heaviest bullet you will shoot is the 210VLD, then you should use 1:11 (recommended by Berger). 1:11 will not hurt your ability to shoot the lighter bullets, although why would you? as the heavier bullets have much better BC. For longrange hunting, I do not feel handicapped at all with a single-shot. I simply make sure to have a few extra rounds right next to the gun. So the first shot goes and I can quickly load a second. If push comes to shove, I can send a second round in about 2 seconds. [/QUOTE]
