[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2435497, member: 27307"] The Badlands have proven to be terrific in fast twist .30 cal. barrels. So have the Berger 245 gr. Hunters and the 230 gr. A-Tips. I tested some Nosler 220 gr. CC in an 1:8 twist but they perform better in a 1:10" twist. It's that old-fashion, slow ogive similar to what Sierra started with. Not a very high BC but plenty of energy at the distances past 500 yards. The 227 Hammer Hunter works well but I'm shooting at 4,000 feet and up to 8,000 feet. Berger Stability say it needs a little more twist at sea level. All chambers were custom cut for specific bullets and are not magazine friendly unless you use those extended ones. ;) [/QUOTE]
