[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 272002, member: 12"] That is so overbore, I am not sure your barrel would last thru the load development. I would be surprised if you got 400 rounds out of the barrel before it was toast. PO Ackley in his Vol 2 book talks about a 22/378 Weatherby shooting 105 grains of powder and max velocity was 4600 fps. In order to keep bullets together at that velocity you would have to go to a 1-14 or 15 twist at least also. Lot of effort and expense for such a little gain. BH [/QUOTE]
