[QUOTE="Dan Conzo, post: 30087, member: 269"] Michael I agree twist is paramount, I didn't include that because you already wrote that. If a shooter is shooting long range, he has to figure the ballistic coefficient of the best quality bullets available which would give him the best advantage at those distances. Most shooters wouldn't use a gunsmith that might not throat a barrel the way he wants it, or put on a barrel with the wrong twist for the bullet the shooter intends to use. If shooters are using 150s for long range in the 7mm especially in the larger cases, they should look at the 162 Hornady AMAX, 168 Sierra MK and 180 Berger VLDs (If they have the proper twist and throating), they would probably do a lot better. If a shooter is using 200s in a 338, he might be better off with a large 300 case shooting 240s. Factory barrels are a flip of a coin. ---Dan [/QUOTE]
