[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 988156, member: 40654"] AZ, you're probably onto something there. I figured I'd get away from that by having 5R groove design, regardless of being 8 twist.. but wasn't so lucky. And relating to round count, there too you nailed it. Mine is in that 440 range right now and even the target hybrids can't hold up... which is odd, because I've babied the barrel with cleanings and short shot strings. Point of me bringing this twist-issue/bullet failure thing up is to settle on the twist for the next barrel coming down the line... I've settled for a lesser BC Barnes LRX (which is still an awesome bullet by the way) just sufferes a .550 bc rather than that of the Berger or Matrix's. Anyhow, appreciate the replies* On another note, I see Gunwerks has LRX loaded ammo offered now for the 7LRM.. have any of you guys shot any of those and chronographed what they're giving for speeds? My firebird shoots them 3200 and .6's for groups in the barrel I been talking about the last few posts. Fortunate my barrel likes (them) so much, pretty well forced to stay away from Berger's til I rebarrel really. Very interested in the 7LRM's performance with the 168 Barnes' [/QUOTE]
