[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 168682, member: 319"] I would not do a 1:12. IMHO a 300 RUM is wasted with such light bullets. The 208, 210's, etc from a 1:10 will kill the lighter bullets at long range. The only flaw I've seen from my 1:9 so far is Bergers are a no-go. But if/when I ever get some aluminum tipped Wildcats, it'll have a much greater potential than a 1:10. And even a 1:10 lets you use the 240 SMK, which is not the best ballistically but it's the best terminally I've seen so far--a devistating and deep penetrating game bullet. With a 1:11 or 1:12, forget it. If you want to shoot light bullets with a 1:12 twist, use a WSM. Just my opinion, of course. :D [/QUOTE]
