[QUOTE="Jeff Heeg osoh, post: 1711334, member: 111250"] Quicksilver338 They started out running the 250 Gr. Bandlands out of a 9.5 twist with Retumbo. Then the rifle was chambered to a 338 Rogue. The Badlands 260 gr. 338s ran well this last weekend at Spear Point in Kansas when shot at the 1400 yard target with the 9.5 twist, so he has a barrel that worked with his 285 Hornady and yet the 260 Badlands if needed. The new 34” barrel will be a 8 twist and a person could get by well with the 8.5 as well pushing Badlands new 275 gr 338. One of the 338 Rogue with a 8.5 twist 34” is floating at 3240 fps. Barrels were KP from Rapid City, SD And powders to test mattering on bullet weight Retumbo, RL26 and IMR8133. The Badlands bullets are working out well for these guys, myself and a few other friends use the Flat Lines with great success, but mainly in the 375s and 416s. I also run the 300 grain Scenars mainly out of my 338LM and I have been really happy but you can’t go wrong with the Bergers period. Just remember every bodies barrels reacts different with pressure but this gets you a good idea, hope some of this helps. Cheers [/QUOTE]
