[QUOTE="Donham, post: 35464, member: 1068"] I would think the .257 140 ULD would require close to what a 140-150 gr would in a .264, they are only 0.007 dif., or to round it off, only really just over 1/2 a caliber apart, (more than 1/2 and less than 3/4).. I know this sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo, but round them off to the nearest even dbl digit number under "." and they are both 0.26 bores... I would start looking for 6.4 loads on the net with the same low drag 140's in the same case or smaller to get a "GENERAL" idea to be on the safe side... I think your 1-10 might be okey, my 06 fires the 115 vld's... and a 06 might require a 1-8 to stablize the 140's, but I would bet your getting close to the same bullet RPM as I am with a 30 grn less bullet... it's all about rpm's The faster you push it, the more RPM's. amd the less twist you need... a 257 roberts would probably need a 1-9 to stablize the 115 Berger VLD.. a 140 ULD in a 25/416 Rigbly case (with a 36 inch tube) might only need a 1-12 or even 1-14 at 4000 fps... I think that 257 STW will handle the 140's or be darn close I would like to build a 25 WSSM or a 25-06 with a 1-14 to shoot the 85 BT's.. I have launched them at 3700 fps, no big pressure signs.. but the 1-10 doesn't seem to like them.. they are 1.5 moa at 300 at 3700, and .75 moa at 300 at 3400 fps.. scott [/QUOTE]
