[QUOTE="Rocky Mountain, post: 985181, member: 26832"] Some interesting talk about solids and gain twist barrels, I know three years ago when I was trying to wade through all the miss information out there I finally chose between 8 and 6 twist ordering 12-7.25 which Kiwi Greg and others ended up getting to. Is it the right twist rate ?? all I know is that it works very well with 350gr through to 450gr CE. Dose this mean a bit more twist rate isn't a bad thing? I know having more twist rate opens up a lot more bullet options than if I had a state twist rate barrel :) Real world shooting by one of Kiwi Gregs friends out to 4000 yards with the a 425gr CE 7.25 twist in my 375 DCM chambering with all bullet stable is a very strong argument for more twist. I have heard that starting slower allows the bullet to settle before raising the twist rate, would a faster twist at the start be good or bad with the longer 375 Cal bullets. [/QUOTE]
