[QUOTE="NEMTHunter, post: 1597797, member: 77631"] Would you claim this for all calibers? Or just the .375? << This question is meant for the underlined part of your post. The reason I ask is I am running again twist to. BUT its a mild gain twist and the one you described above is a radical gain twist. Mine goes from 8.25 to 7.5. But it is a .30 cal. So far all the cup and core bullets I have shot in it have held up and made nice little round holes 100 yards. The fastest I have shot them to date was 3367 fps. The barrel maker told me that anything more then a 1" gain is to much gain for a cup and core and will eat the jacket up. Yours was a 8.3 gain. Thats a lot. LOL I am sure if your gain was less than a inch or even a 7.7 strait the bullets would have held up. The reason I ask is you stated it was built for solids. And the gain you had would (does) work fine for them. Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
