[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 777654, member: 9281"] This thread is proving to be helpful for me as well. I am doing a new 300RUM build in the next couple of months and was debating on how much twist to go with for the 230's. I am using a Broughten 5C of about 31". Tim North of Broughten highly recommended using a 9 twist because of the stability and accuracy they are seeing at extreme distance with this same chambering and bullet. He felt that a standard 10 twist would not provide as much stability/accuracy at extreme distance. I had a pretty reputable smith a few weeks ago recommend that I go with an 11 or 12 twist??? So obviously it's a very debatable subject. I have decided to go with Tim's recommendations and use a 9 twist even if I may be giving up a small amount of velocity. [/QUOTE]
