[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 353302, member: 11837"] Thanks guys, just to clarify, I only plan to shoot 140's( unless for unknown reason they wouldn't group out of this new barrel I have planned) I have other guns, calibers for other stuff. I currently have a 7mm08, in a different gun( just not sure on what twist it has, done very long ago, and my memory sucks any more!) it is a #5 bbl on it at 24 inches, and shoot 140's like a champ! I just wanted to build another one, just a tad lighter, going with a #4 bbl fluted, at 20 inches!( and hopefully can shoot same load with same or very close results!) and was just looking for feed back of what you think the twist should be, since a few barrel companys, gave me different suggestions! some said 1-11', some said, 1-9, and most said, 1-10. so I was just wondering what anyone on here has used, and how it worked out! But it looks like most here think 1-9 is the way to go, or 1-10, since I don't plan to use heavier than 140's, do you feel i should still go to the 1-9, or use a 1-10?? thanks again [/QUOTE]
