[QUOTE="GERDES G, post: 1721470, member: 107245"] So look here, other than the 155 Hammers, most everything I have tried over 150’s have required a tighter twist than most factory barrels come with. Now I was trying a set up with a 7 RUM with a factory barrel and could not get good groups at all. I went with 140 and 150 Nosler E-Tips and did good. Also Barnes 140-145’s. Then I had McGowan make 2 28 Nosler barrels with 1 in 8” twist for me. One replaced the 7 RUM barrel. The other went on a new Rem 700 action. Now I can use a much larger span of bullets. If you find you are having issues with grouping on the heavier bullets it may be the twist isnt tight enough. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
