[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 491269, member: 11717"] It's the length of the bullet that determines the twist rate required to stabilize it. The GS bullets are monometal and this particular bullet is quite lond to give it the best possible BC. A 10 twist is on the edge for it and requires higher velocities to increase the RPMs. It's your call on how important a repeater is to you. In my experience, a repeater has only come in handy once, but I like to have a back up shot just in case. I dropped a second antelope with the secoind shot once. If you hit an animal and it starts to take off on you, it's nice to have a quick backup. I have a 300 RUM also and they're a good LR gun, depending on what bullet, load and elevation, it's probably good from 1000-1200 yds. The 300 RUM will be a very tight fit in a Vangurad action and will probably require short throating the chamber for long high BC bullets. [/QUOTE]
