[QUOTE="Lobber, post: 1444179, member: 95131"] Man, this has already been a fun discussion! Thanks for all the input so far! So, not to get too hypothetical here, but do y’all think there would be much of a disadvantage with going with a 1:7 over a 1:8 twist with the expectation of shooting 140-155 grain bullets and/or the long copper bullets, with no intention to go lighter than 140? To me, it would seem that the 140s would be unlikely to spin too fast to cause many issues, yet could still handle 155+ gr bullets, if one decided to give them a try. That is if one could figure out the appropriate freebore and all. I don’t have much to back that statement, but I’d love to hear what you guys think about that concept. [/QUOTE]
