[QUOTE="Broz, post: 256334, member: 7503"] I have a 6/284 with a 10 twist 26" Shaw #2 coutour. I origionally built this for a Coyote gun when I was shooting yotes using hounds. That is why I wanted a fast shooter. I was hard on it at first by shooting 70 SMK's @ 4100 fps. Then I started using the rifle for deer and Antelope and now load 85 gr game kings. It will not stabilize larger bullets well with the 10 twist. This rifle is a pleasure to shoot and last weekend I wacked a steel plate at 550 in 10 mph wind , first shot. I would not hesitate to shoot deer out to 600 with my rifle. As for the bore life, I can tell you due to the first round of my reloading with small bullets and high velocity the throat does show a bit of erosion and I have roughly 700 rounds through it. So, I would advise doing just what you said and use an 8 twist with 105 bergers. I think you would like the results. Jeff . [/QUOTE]
