[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 620565, member: 24624"] Since you're having difficulty accepting the advice/explanations provided, you should simply give it a try. Due to the case sizes, it shouldn't be too difficult/expensive to re-chamber (and open the bolt face, which you'd have to do even with a new barrel). If it doesn't perform to your expectations, then buy a barrel with optimal twist for your application. A twist that's too slow doesn't mean that groups jump from .25" to 3". They're just not likely to be as tight as possible and are more apt to induce unexplained fliers. The latter is the biggest frustration I had when this has come up before and it's why I don't mess with it if the math doesn't add up. I'd love to see your before and after targets. Good luck, richard [/QUOTE]
