I was all decided on a 26" - 27" 1-9 twist Krieger barrel for a Rem 7mmMag project. I was surprised to buy Hornady 162 Amax bullets and find that a 1-8 twist is what's recommended on the box. I intend to fire these bullets about at max of around 3,000 fps (or whatever gives me the best accuracy.) Even Berger recommends a 1-10 twist for their own 168gr VLD bullets.
I hate to go against what Hornady says. What gives? I'm a little intimidated now about what twist to go with.
