[QUOTE="CHARLIEDUECE65, post: 493382, member: 15083"] Last year I purchased a Match Grade Machine 24" 338 Federal, standard contour, shilen select match grade barrel for my tc encore. The barrel has the 10 twist. I have only shot the 200 gr speer bullets so far, but I am going to try the 160 Barnes bullets and see what they do as well. I have been doing a little research on this lately. I believe on Midway's customer reviews of the bullet one reviewer stated he was getting very good accuracy with this from a tikka rifle and getting 2900 plus muzzle velocity. Not sure what the barrel lengths on the Tikka are. Can you get more speed with a faster twist and shorter length barrel? [/QUOTE]
