[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 915648, member: 22069"] Realistically, if 500 yards is your max, a 12 twist and 53g VMAX's @ 3900 or so would likely be a pretty good combo. Plug the numbers in to a ballistic calculator and you'll see what I mean. The 75 and 80 grain AMAX's don't show a significant wind drift advantage until after about 300 yards or so. A 9 twist barrel reportedly will allow you to use 75g BTHP's and might stabilize the 75g AMAX, while still allowing good performance with lighter bullets. The 8 twist would be better if you are sure you want to shoot the heavies. [/QUOTE]
