[QUOTE="craigp40, post: 83246, member: 3327"] The rifle Chris Matthews built for me has a 1 in 9 Broughton barrel. It has no problem stabilizing the 175s, even at long ranges. If I do my part, it will hold .3-.4 MOA out to 500 yds, which is the farthest I've shot groups with it. I have also put it on steel at 1370 yds. Bottom line is that the 8.5 twist that Sierra says it requires isn't necessarily true. Getting back to the subject at hand, thanks for all the input. Looks like I'll stick with the 175 SMKs for deer season. Let's hope I get one so I can share the bullet results with all of you. And Chris, hopefully I'll be contacting you soon with my next project. The itch is getting stronger... [/QUOTE]
