[QUOTE="Mr.Moa, post: 1716172, member: 33467"] I could be over thinking this and maybe its splitting hairs but I'd like everyone's opinion before I drop several hundred dollars on a new 6.5x284 barrel. I'm about to buy a new barrel and slightly torn on which barrel twist to go with. I don't plan on shooting anything lighter that 140s. Preferably I want to berger 156 eol but will be fine with shooting whatever it will run over 140s. I know I should stabilize 140s with the 1-8" just fine and per berger the 156 should have a minimum 1-8". Looking at some other bullets like sierra 150s, they recommend a 1-7.5". With me wanting to shoot exclusively heavier bullets, should I hold out the 10-16 weeks for a 1-7.5" twist or go with a 1-8" that is ready to ship from northland shooters supply? [/QUOTE]
