[QUOTE="The Badger, post: 2460248, member: 52390"] The 116 Hammers I believe have a recommended twist of 1-9". You didn't say what twist your barrel was, but if it is a 1-10" which is the most common in .257, they may be only marginally stable in your new barrel. I'd drop down to the 98 Shock Hammer or 92 Hammer Hunter before I'd make any guess as to the potential accuracy of the barrel. I usually start .020 or .030 of the lands with the hammers and seldom have needed any seating adjustment. [/QUOTE]
