[QUOTE="badthirtyone, post: 2329299, member: 9573"] Great to hear. I had a fairly lengthy discussion with Proof during my decision making process on barrel twist. I let them know the bullet (180 Hyb) that I was [I]most often[/I] going to use for this gun and they strongly pointed to the 1-8.44 twist for my purposes. I may still dabble in the 150's as well, so I wanted a solid compromise. I think that overall, you will have greater luck in shooting the true heavies - say 195 etc - in your 1-8. So, it seems like either twist should be phenomenal for both of our purposes. I chose the 26" only because I do a good amount of suppressed shooting, and for whatever reason just couldn't wrap my head around a 9" titanium can on the end of a 28" barrel. I think it'd be like carrying a 7' fishing pole on my shoulder in the mountains 😜 Thanks for your data and input on results that you are getting out of what should be a very similar build for what I am going after. I'm still speechless on your wife's shot, and deer! [/QUOTE]
