[QUOTE="7stw, post: 747126, member: 22854"] Wow, you have really done your home work, and your equipment list is impressive. Gotta love those Winchester actions too. I have personally fell in love Winchester actions myself. I still love Remington actions as well. As far as your over stabilization question, I would not worry about that so much. Som makers actually are running a 1-9 twist with no problems. If you go with the 1-10 twist, you may be able to shoot bullets up to the low 160 class anyway. But for what you a are wanting to do, either twist mentioned will do fine. 3550 is really pushing the envelope for a bullet to be able to function, at the terminal end though. And then, there is the barrel life issue of course. So, all else being equal, bullet selection will definitely be a factor. One last thing to think about is the 3.825 OAL. Given that this cartridge is a free bored chambering, you will now be closer to the throat, which means your pressures will occur slightly quicker then most that are at the usual 3.630 to 3.670 ish OAL. Nothing of a show stopper as long as you build up cautiously to your rifles max, or sweet spot. That is going to be quite a rifle, and you should have many years of enjoyment from it. Take care of it, and it will not let you down. [/QUOTE]
