[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 2965463, member: 84442"] I don't think you'll have an issue with a 7 twist barrel. I built up a Rem700 a couple years back with a 22" 1/7 twist barrel specifically to take advantage of the heavier, more efficient .224" bullets. It is a hammer using the Hornady 88gr ELDMs and has enough power to keep them supersonic out to 1000 yards. It also shoots stuff as light as 55gr with great accuracy. The only issue I had was when I shot the 55gr Hornady SPSX bullets at over 3100fps which would result in a few of them disappearing in a gray poof. [/QUOTE]
