[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1073190, member: 22069"] If you are going to set your rifle up specifically for copper/non-lead bullets, you would be wise to go with a faster than normal twist for whatever caliber you choose. For example, if you are going with 7mm, I would recommend an 8 twist barrel 24"-26" in length. The standard twists are fine for existing Hornady and Barnes bullets, but there are new generations of long range-oriented bullets being introduced (both lead and non-lead). These bullets are trending toward faster twists. Going with a faster twist barrel than the current standard will help you keep your options open, with no down side. [/QUOTE]
