[QUOTE="megastink, post: 2358095, member: 33429"] I rebarrelled a 1938 Mauser 98 with a Brownells 6.5x55 barrel. Nice barrel, but it has a 1:9 twist. I broke it in using factory Lapua 120gr ammo. It shot pretty well. About 1-1.25 MOA groups out to 300 yards. I believe I’m going to be stuck loading lighter bullets with my twist rate. I’d like to use this rifle for deer out to 600 yards, and was hoping to load 130-140gr, but I don’t think they will stabilize. Looking for some input. TIA [/QUOTE]
