[QUOTE="Clucknmoan, post: 1477756, member: 80034"] About to order a barrel for an SS build and need some input. Would really like to run the 150’s or the new Berger when it hits the street. Wanted to go with a carbon Proof but I’m concerned with a couple things. I’ve heard of a few 150 SMK’s blowing up with conventional 4 groove barrels. Anyone running the 150’s out of a 4 groove at 3100+? If so what twist and barrel? Torn on twist as well with the Proof. My barrel channel will take a Sendaro Light contour, but it looks like they only offer a 7 or 8 twist in that contour. I could go to a 24” barrel and get a 7.5, but I really don’t want to give up the speed from a 26” especially if the Proofs are running slow. 7 twist is an option, but am a little concerned that it’s too fast for the 140’s at the potential speed of this cartridge. Anyone running 140 class out of a 4 groove 7 twist?? May just have to go with a Bartlien 5R for this and carry a little extra weight. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
