Lookin for first hand info on this combo. I am on the fence in whether to go 10 or 11 twist with my new 300 WIN build with 210 Bergers being used. My goal is a hunting rifle that will hold small consistant groups at 1000. Velocity will be n the 2900 range.

Thanks in advance for any info.

If I ever decide to shoot at targets out to where the speed is approaching subsonic range the 10 twist may help keep it stable.

Thanks for the replys.
