[QUOTE="Chaddman, post: 984902, member: 78916"] Thanks for the great info Greg. I'm not dead set on only shooting the SMK's. I was advised by my gunsmith to stay away from the gain twist barrels. I'm not sure why as I didn't ask him but I was trying to give credit to him by taking his advise as he is known and respected as knowing his stuff. That being said I'm still very interested in the gain twist barrels so I may end up buying one of each style constant and gain just so I could experiment with all bullet types. I too do not want to limit myself to just one bullet type and weight. You say you may be over spinning the 425's and the new 450 proto. What would a more conservative twist rate be if you had to guess? In other words what would the minimum twist be that you could get away with right before accuracy potential starts to drop off and still be stable at 2K and 3K ranges? [/QUOTE]
