[QUOTE="brianwinzor, post: 37256, member: 1067"] Fifty, Your helpful comments about the the 3 groove barrels and VLD bullets in 224's, just made me decide to order a Krieger rather than a Lilja barrel for my next .224 Clark. Once Richard Graves 85 grain and 85+ grain ULD bullets arrive, I will measure their length, and then decide whether to use a 1 in 7.7 inch, or 1 in 7.0 inch twist Krieger Barrel. I have heard several reports that the 7.0 twist can cause the 80 grain VLD bullets from Berger and JLK to come apart, but they will often work OK in the 7.7 twist. The 80 grain Sierra HPBT usually seems to shoot OK with either twist. It will be interesting to see whether the 130 and 140 .257 cal bullets he is sending me will stabilise in the 1 in 10 twist barrel of my 25/06 AI. The surprise report of them stabilising in a 25/06 has given me a little encouragement. Regards, Brian. [/QUOTE]
