[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 842013, member: 10723"] The fact that your 20' Steyr Pro Hunter does not shoot the 140 grain bullets probably has very little to do with the fact that the barrel is only 20 inches. It probably has to do with the fact the twist rate is not correct for a 140 grain bullet. You need a 1 in 8 twist rate and your gun has a 1 in 9 or 10 so it does not shoot the 140's well. Of course it could be that the Steyr just does not like the particular 140 that you are shooting. You could try some different 140s and see if your gun also hates them. It it does the answer would be to try some 120. [/QUOTE]
