[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 21525, member: 34"] Hello Mike For Longrange hunting, the twist that is RECOMMENDED for the heavier and higher BC is the one I use. In the big 22s --22/284---22/6mm IMP Etc. 8 twist and 80 gr match bullets. 6 mm such as 6/06--6/284--6/Ackley--8 twist and 107 gr to 115gr match bullets. 6.5/284--6.5/06--6.5 Gibbs--264 Mag --6.5/300 Weatherby--Etc---8 twist and 140 to 155 gr MK bullets. 300 win, 300 Weatherby, really any 30 cal imp with a large case design-- 10 twist with bullets up to 220 gr match. Some barrel makers say a 9 twist for the 240 gr but, the 10 twist works just fine. My 338/416 Imp has a 10 twist and I use the 300 gr bullet. I would hunt with the SAME bullet I would use at longrange even if a close shot presented itself. Of course I recommend a Match King and the heavier ones in the caliber you are shooting. The higest BC in the MK, I have found to work the best in any caliber I shoot.. Good luck and Good shooting. Darryl Cassel [/QUOTE]
