[QUOTE="Old Hickory 45, post: 2011223, member: 115728"] A while back Savage changed their BMAG .17 WSM from 1/9 to 1/8 barrel twist. I purchased a BMAG WSM 1/9 twist as soon as the news broke they were for sale. It's the pencil barrel and is my for real go to rifle for hunting. As for what the rifles prefer, many of the newer (1/8 twist) like the 25gr better than the 20gr. When ammo was scarce, I shot whatever WSM ammo I could find. Strange thing is, they print about the same with my rifle. I prefer 20 gr for my small game hunting of mostly tree squirrels and an occasional cottontail rabbit. A few varmints have quickly met their end when they were within range, also. [/QUOTE]
