[QUOTE="762frmafr, post: 707598, member: 18825"] I do not have any experience with the 12 twist barrels. This gun shoots some Southwest factory 155 grain Scenar loads at approximately 2850 fps. They are pretty accurate but not what I would call optimal from this rifle. Your 12 twist would probably do the same or a little faster with handloads. I feel the shorter barrels really shine with the heavier bullets and RL-17 powder. I have 500 208 BTHP's sitting here to load up. 48.5 grains of RL-17 should push those bullets just over 2500 fps. IMO this is a **** good combo for target shooting as well as hunting anyhting in my area. [/QUOTE]
