[QUOTE="theosmithjr, post: 1355968, member: 102164"] If your shooting for Long Range accuracy I just assumed that you'd be using the finest bullets available to you. When shooting a very long range bullet, most of them are very long in comparison to a Spitzer or FB. I shoot .17, .30, and .243 cal. Match Grade Bullets that REQUIRE a FASTER TWIST by the manufacturer to properly stabilize their bullets for Maximum accuracy at any range. However you can still shoot smaller length bullets with impressive results. Of course if your driving them at Mach 4 or 5 they're gonna BLOW! Once you reach 2800 fps velocity the core becomes LIQUID! KEEP increaseing velocity and sooner than later you'll see a little white cloud about 70 yards down range. Thats your BULLET coming APART! NOTHING MAN MADE can take that kind of heat, pressure and velocity unless you get it from NASA, and I'm certain they're not in the bullet business as of yet! :) Anyhow back to your needs, if you're considering buying a new barrel why not go for the faster twist and have it throated. This way you can shoot a variety of bullets given your quarry. The throating will help out for longer Match grade and VLD designed bullets, while still being able to pop a Ballistic Tip in there to vaporize Varmints with!
