[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 532943, member: 2736"] I would look for 6 to 8 groves. The grooves are only 3 to 5 thousandths deep and the larger bullets are hard to get started rotating and will sometimes shear the jacket unless there are plenty of groves and lands. I have had the best luck with 8 groove barrels with 10 to 14 twist the 1 in 12 should be good for the 375 rum because of velocity. the old 375 H&H did ok with the 1 in 10 (Slower). For the 416s the 1 in 14 seems to be the best. Barrel length will be ok (26") + the brake. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
