[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 439210, member: 8"] I use a 8 twist barrel and can stabilize the 142 gr Wildcat bullets. If I was to rebarrel I would go with a gain twist with a final spin somewhere about 8 -8.5. While I can stabilize the 142s I hunt with the 130s. I also use a 28 inch barrel to make the most of the case capacity. As far as a reamer I usually specify a minimum SAAMI and instead of "conventional" free bore I have a target leade that allows me to jam the bullets. Of course I don't care about magazine length and do not hunt with magazine fed rifles. [/QUOTE]
