[QUOTE="TheLongRanger83702, post: 2289353, member: 88760"] Trying to shoot a 180 gr. bullet through a 1:8 twist seems much too fast. The 120 gr. are suited for the 1:8 twist rate. My experience has those heavier projectiles shot with a 1:10 twist is more the norm. If your lands cut deep into the copper jacket it seems reasonable that these heavier bullets are in fact shedding their copper jackets from this barrel in flight with the 1:8. Just my $.02. [/QUOTE]
