[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 492479, member: 22030"] I initially set the rifle up for shooting 80-95gr bullets and went with the 1 in 9 for that. The 95gr Berger or Sierra matchking calls for that twist. If you want to shoot VLD's check out Berger and Sierra's website and check the bullet you want against their twist rate. I had no intention of using 70gr bullets until the Superformance powder came out. I was lured in by 3800fps because many of my coyotes are shot while working on the ranch, and I have to shoot quick. I don't have time for ranging and adjusting turrets like I try to do on big game. I like that I can have a +/- 3" trajectory out to 350yds so I can hold center and not worry about range. If you have more time for your shots, in wind, or at longer range the VLD's will outperform the light bullets. I haven't had any trouble seating the bullets for a short action, but haven't loaded VLD's in the 6mm either. I loaded them in my short action 243 win with no trouble. If you are interested in loading with the lighter bullets and the Hodgdon Superformance powder their load data is on their website. [/QUOTE]
