[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1394955, member: 87243"] I would go with a 1:7 or 1:7.5 twist, especially if your lower elevation!! Berger will have their 156 EOL Hybrid out by then, and Sierra has a 150 that requires a 1:7.5 twist, and even the 142 Nosler LRAB bullets have a better bc with the tighter twist. And shooting a 140 or even a 130 through a 7 or 7.5 twist will not cause any problems. And with the right powders, if you go 26"+ or more, you will be able to push the heavy bullets fast enough. When the 156 is out, depending on where the node falls, I plan on 2950-3000+ fps. Trust me, unless you want to shoot mostly 120 or lighter bullets, get a 7.5 or 7 twist. That is where the LR game is headed. [/QUOTE]
