[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 2490636, member: 8"] The issue with a factory 240 Wby is the twist rate is 1-10. You need a 1-8 twist for 105 and heavier bullets. If you are onlly going to shoot 400 yards and or do not load your own bullets then you can get by with the factory 1-10. Some people may tell you that a 1-10 will stabilize those bullets but it is not a good idea to depend upon it. I have made a number of kills on antelope at 1000 yards with a 1-8 twist 240 Wby shooting Berger 115 VLDs. Berger recommends a 1-7 twist for that bullet but I can stabiulize it. [/QUOTE]
