[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1492919, member: 78438"] I think the fast twit barrels are overrated, 1:9.5 is perfect for 162 eldx, or 168 vld, which are perfect bullets for what your trying to do, but I've shot the 175 out of a 1:9.25 with great luck. Imo fast twist barrels are great for the big heavies (180-195's) but make shooting medium weight bullets more finicky. Your not going to have the freebore for really long bullets without taking up quite a bit of case capacity. My guess is that the 162-168's are going shoot right with, or maybe even outrun the 180's out to 1000 out of that rifle, from a ballistic standpoint. I get that it's not what you want, but it might be better suited for what your trying to do. Sounds like a good guy that's treating you pretty fair. Lot's of guys shooting 175-180's out of rem sendero's 1:9.25 with good results. I'd see how it shoots, and if your not happy, like others have said, take the cash and put towards a custom barrel. I's a pretty good bet with the odds in your favor. Good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
