[QUOTE="Bigaldepr, post: 1495322, member: 102210"] From my limited experience the typical 9.5 twist rate for the 7mm RM is fine for a 162 grain bullet. Most likely as mentioned before the problem is the stock. I have used the Bell and Carlson stock (~$270 from Stocky's) which is a very good modestly priced alternative to the more expensive HS Precision and McMillan stocks. Fully floated with a solid aluminum bed. I also replaced the stock trigger with a Timney trigger, adjustable with a very clean break (< $200 at MidwayUSA). For sheep a 120-140 grn. bullet will give a flatter trajectory and will be more than enough to DRT a sheep when launched from a 7mm RM. Anyway the cartridge is not the problem. [/QUOTE]
