[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2073452, member: 87243"] You could still try the 150's, they aren't as good as the 160's for bc, but when compared to a 180 Berger, they are very similar with the extra speed. Most of the custom single point cut barrel makers will custom make a barrel for you, Krieger will do it I know, they charged me $25 for a tighter twist. Bartlien said they would do it as well when I emailed them. If you like to run prefits however, that may certainly narrow your options. Looking at the numbers, I think I may try the 250 grain SDB-2's in my .338 Norma, comparing them to the 275 sbd-2's and what I could get in my rifle, they are only a couple inches in wind drift behind, energy is still more than the original 270 sbd had at range, and while my rifle doesn't have bad recoil at all, a 250 vs 275 will likely make it more manageable. The extra velocity retained at range won't be a bad thing, and running them in my 9 twist when they only need a minimum of a 10, should only give me more of a good thing as far as terminal performance is considered! Also, I think we may run the .277 140's in a couple .270 Sherman's we have too, those things outperform the Berger 170 EOL in ballistics!! [/QUOTE]
