[QUOTE="dcgauger, post: 63130, member: 3919"] Good Point! With the .243 case, i was intending on staying around 3000fps. I have a 22" barreled 700 BDL that you CAN'T make shoot over 2950 with 100 Sierra flatbases. Also, with a faster twist, the rotational energy component will be higher at the expense of the translational component for the same given pressure (no free lunch). Anyway, 3 grand, or thereabouts, ought to be doable. I was thinking more in terms of barrel life when I was considering the 3-groove configuration. Can comeone enlighten me on the tradeoffs on rifling configurations (and shapes, like the polygonal, radiused groove, etc.). Thanks, don [/QUOTE]
