[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 2379359, member: 55944"] I have several 1-8” twist 7mm barrels and one rifle a 7-300 win mag improved built with a 1-8” twist barrel, I wish they were 1-9” twist. The 1-9” twist will stabilize everything up to and including the 180hr BLS and hybrid bullets. I don’t intend to shoot the 190+ heavy convention bullets that needs a faster twist. I don’t shoot monolithic bullets so no worry there. Read what Nathan Foster has to say about his 7mm practical. In his tests the faster twist was detrimental to accuracy in lighter bullets like the 180gr. His conclusion was If you build on a 1-8” barrel you might be limited to shooting the 195’s. I know the trend is faster and faster twist rates for everything but I don’t subscribe to that theory. I want the twist rate that is “optimal” for the bullets I intend to shoot. [/QUOTE]
