[QUOTE="bear41, post: 2749712, member: 126209"] Wrote the paragraph below before seeing the notes from the benchrest shooter above very informative post by him. My brother has shot benchrest heads out of his 243 Akley Improved and they held up with good accuracy. I don't recall his barrel twist. Most PPC guns are 1 in 13. I will give you a word of caution both he and I set up 25-06s to shot Pdogs near sea level we were pushing 75gr Vmax at just under 4000 fps with N140 powder. When we got to WY to shoot about 1/3 of his round air burst before getting to the dogs. Mine were ok. We were shooting barrels with 1 in 10 twist. I am guessing you are ok with 1 in 12 twist but velocity and higher twist rates (lower number) in his case caused the bullets to air burst. Best of luck with your tuned up gun. [/QUOTE]
