[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 982344, member: 2736"] What is the twist rate of your barrel ? for the heavy bullets you need a 1 in 8 or a 1 in 9 twist. Chances are that your barrel is a 1 in 10 or a 1 in 12, But if it shoots good you should try the heavy bullets just to see if it will shoot them. Re-barreling the browning A bolt is no big deal and they can be made to shoot well with action truing and good Smithing. The heavier barrels are better for long range so if you replace it I recommend at least something in a # 5 or 6 contour. (Slightly lighter than a Sendero). Good luck on your project. [/QUOTE]
