[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 76701, member: 319"] Round holes and good accuracy don't necessarily mean you're getting the most from the bullets, though. As I meantioned in the other thread, if it's yawing more out of the muzzle it can hurt its BC. Also something some may forget about--punching a hole in paper isn't all you ask a hunting rifle to do. One of the reasons I'm leaning toward a faster twist 300 is for on-game performance. Less chance of tumbling on impact and straighter penetration with the long heavy bullets (especially bonded). If Richard gets me the 240's before I get a new barrel, I'll test them and use them if they do OK, but I'm slowly convincing myself they'll do [i]better[/i] with a faster twist. [/QUOTE]
