[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1773053, member: 7999"] Run an 8" twist and use a standard throat. For your range I would run our 143g Hammer Hunter. These are running about 3600 fps depending on the powder. This kind of speed with a bullet that can handle it is a whole different world. This will give you a near 500y hold hair combo when zeroed for max point blank range. It is a legit 1000y combo though it will give up some drift to the very high bc bullets. The Hammers have no issues with high vel impacts. They will retain the same weight as an 1800 fps impact. Speed is very underrated simply because it was not too many years ago that there wasn't many bullets that could survive launch speeds much over 3000 fps let alone handle high vel impacts. When you have a reliable combo running North of 3500 fps it is simply amazing. Makes 600y shots feel like 300y shots. The shock of the impact is undeniable. Yet meat damage is still far less than lead bullets. You simply can't get the same performance from less bullets, maybe some other pure copper bullets, but none that I know of. [/QUOTE]
