[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1493807, member: 30902"] With the higher BC longer projectiles coming out every year or so it wouldn't be at all foolish to go ahead and start with a 1:7.5 or even 1:7 twist. Personally I'm getting more and more convinced the Mono's are the way to go and they are 10% longer than conventional bi metal bullets anyhow. I'll take the VLR5 142 Peregrine all day long over any conventional BM in the same weight class or even slightly heavier all day long. They never fail to mushroom, will never fragment or blow up at any velocity and will always give tremendous penetration with about a golfball sized exit. There are other Mono's on the market that will give almost as consistent performance and I'm admittedly a real freak when it comes to terminal performance. Just for fun I ran some older 150gr VRG3's at ridiculous speeds in my 300 Rum's to prove the theory on both big hogs and deer and it held true. For a new shooter with the trend towards outlawing lead this should be a consideration because it's likely to be gone in less than a decade. [/QUOTE]
