[QUOTE="H82bogey, post: 278765, member: 1372"] So after doing some research, I have made the decision to go with the 7mm caliber. Of course through my research the rabbit hole I have gone down gets deeper and deeper. I would like to shoot a 170-180 grain bullet and see most factory rifles are a 1:9 to 1:9.5 twist barrels. I spoke to a gunsmith at Begara as I am considering one of their rifles and he assures me that a 1:9.5 on their factory rifle will stabilize this bullet no problem, but most of the articles I have read suggest to go with a 1:8.5 or 1:8 twist to stabilize these heavier bullets. Does anyone have some real word experience shooing a 170+ grain bullet out of a 7mm and what their twist rate and results are? Would the 1:9.5 twist be sufficient or will I need to get something like 1:8.5? [/QUOTE]
