[QUOTE="The Hock, post: 1303038, member: 8986"] The barrel is chambered and at 26", it's a dang 1-10 and I hesitate to shorten it. I understand the trials of doing a wildcat. RWS cases are a bit pricey @ about $3.50 each but they are notorious for durability. My thought is to see what will happen as I wear out the barrel. Then I can rebarrel it in a faster twist if I want to. I had corresponded with Marshal Ambrose when he still had Matrix. He said many of his customers used the 165 in 1-10 barrels with complete satisfaction but he didn't recommend it. Following that up is the info from Berger that your BC actually increases with the faster twist. As I said in my original post Midway had 5 reviews of the Woodleigh 180s where most guys posting had 1-10 barrels and getting around 1" groups. Hunting accuracy but probably not good enough to stretch it out. The bullets are not that streamlined though, with only a .513 BC. [/QUOTE]
