That makes sense. It also give one a good reason to use our other rifles. But there are heavier bullets designed for slower twist rifles - round noses and semi-points. My understanding is that the 7-08 is a very versatile caliber so I can understand the desire for a fast twist but the 140gr bullet seems heavy enough for most uses. Can someone explain why the 6.5 Swede with it's long throat has a reputation for accuracy with such a wide range of bullet weights? Regards 303Guy | |||

I think that Brian Litz Bergers Ballistician explained it quite well

That's fair comment but some rifles seem to be very fussy about bullet weight or length. Is that one of those "nothing to do with twist rate" things? I know my 303 Brit won't shoot 123gr or 125gr spitzers well at all. I think that has to do with throat design entirely. Regards 303Guy | |||
