[QUOTE="dwcars, post: 2689431, member: 123453"] No really useful information here, just a comment. I had a very competent gunsmith build me a 6mm PPC on a lite sporter platform. He used an XP100 action and a gain-twist barrel (manufacturer unknown) chambered for a .262 neck cartridge. I've never owned or shot a rifle that can even come close to the accuracy of this one. He delivered it to me with 50 loaded cartridges and the 12x Leupold mounted and sighted in. When I took my second shot a 100 yards, I thought I had missed the little target entirely. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th shots were a repeat of the same. The only sign that there had been more than one shot fired was to very closely observe that the hole was very slightly ragged at the edges. BTW, I was shooting off the hood of a pick-up truck. So, the question was about the accuracy of a gain-twist barrel, and my answer (in my personal experience at least) is a resounding "YES~!!!
