[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2791290, member: 1039"] 8.6 Blk has 1:3 twist. That should be the bestest bullet shooter ever right? Full disclosure. I built one with a 16" barrel but other than testing it into the dirt (backland clay) I have no idea how that thing is going to work. I'm waiting for my can to get out of jail. I'll break down and take it to the range one of these days, well before the Alpha Tango Foxtrot group gets done. Word is that jacketed bullets don't stay jacketed in the 8.6. I got that word AFTER I had started building it. I have a few thousand 300gr Sierra SMK's and I thought I was set up good. The people ahead of me are loading solid copper. Idk. I like the idea of a fragmenting 500,000 RPM bullet slicing into a hog but... as my son-in-law pointed out... he's been killing hogs with a .223 for 15 years and he figures to stick with it. I like trying new to me schtuff... The worst case is I'll have a .308 lower to play with. [/QUOTE]
