[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 455235, member: 2261"] Dave Yes I had input from both Noel, Agustus, and Frank at Bartlein, in figuring out the 5.4" exit twist on that barrel. I suspect a 5.0" would be better, as with the very long solids (as in 6.5 calibers or LONGER in length) I'm not sure you can ever twist them too muhc. Its not like they will come apart; nowI have had some go unstable like the ones I test ed the other day, but they dop not go poof after leaving the muzzle, just kind of wobble then carwheel off into the netherworlds never to be seen or heard from again. The good news is it looks like there are several folks moving aggresively into the solids realm, and I'll be testing and shooting lots of the bullets this coming spring and summer. I'll be noting which ones work and which ones don't from my rifle. All in all its a learning curve for both myself and the manufacturers. JeffVN [/QUOTE]
