[QUOTE="StumpyJohnson, post: 2530772, member: 122458"] Preferred Barrel Blanks 26 nosler is 1:7 and 28 nosler is 1:8. All in all I don't think its a killer, especially since projectiles are copper. But I'm essentially not using the extra twist. I assume I could have a throat reamer made with some added freebore and have the barrels reamed. But I think as long as I can get the original intended projectiles to work fine I'll be happy. For reference here's what I was after originally...It's the last sentence in the quote below that I doubt I'll be able to explore without some gunsmithing. " 2. I've heard there is magic in a 6.5 caliber bullet in the 140grn weight. That said I'll shoot non-lead. So, I'd like to target 125ish grn for the 26 nosler for everything but elk. If I can get consistent accuracy at 3200 - 3300 fps I'll be happy. For the 28 I'd be looking at the 150grn mark at 3000-3200 fps to start. My nosler m48 liberty plays well in that range And I have plenty of components. BUT a 160 to 168 grn pill would be great to explore." [/QUOTE]
