[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1666812, member: 87243"] The reason I would go with an 8 or 8.5 twist is to stabilize the 195's if you ever wanted to try them, and it won't cause any adverse effects with the use of the 180's either. Even 160's will be fine. I have had a hard time getting the 175 eld-x's to shoot in a couple 9.25 twist 7 mags. They may just not like them, but I think a slightly tighter twist would help. Just my thoughts. My uncle ordered a brux barrel for his 7 mag, he plans on using 180 or 195 Bergers for elk, we went with an 8 twist. It will be throated for the longer pills, not SAAMI spec. Should get the 195's in the 2900's, we're shooting the 180's at 3060 in my cousins 26" factory 7 mag with reloder 26. [/QUOTE]
