[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 738809, member: 13833"] Swampfox.....As others have asked; is this for target or hunting? This may well help you decide on barrel contour. An 'o6 will gain approx. 40 fps for each inch of barrel length depending on load. If you are only choosing between the two factory loads that you mentioned, The SST's will probably out perform the trophy bonded bullets for either target or hunting beyond 500 yards as they are usually more accurate and will expand better at lower velocities. They also buck the wind better with the higher b.c. I would go with a 10 twist as it will stabilize anything you would probably shoot in an '06. ........Rich [/QUOTE]
