[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1682159, member: 104363"] I built an Argentine 98 mauser with my grandkids in mind. Built on a budget with a short chambered Shilen from Brownells. Shocked at how well it shoots 130 gr Sierras into 5 shot 3/8 holes. Then, factory Barnes ammuntion, exactly the same groups with minor poi shift. That twist was plenty for the times then and now, anything up to 150's as the typical offerings off the shelf. If you want to shoot heavier "custom" offerings in .277, then yes, you need a twist targeted for that. My granddaughter just popped her first deer in Kaibab, AZ. at 275 yards with the Barnes factory ammo last season. Leaving well enough alone. If that isn't what your looking for, go a different route on chambering/caliber. [/QUOTE]
