Farley 6PPC

[Nick50471]

I found this rifle and into it for very little.
Farley action, 6PPC barrel by Bob Green with .272 Neck, McMillan A5 stock bedded.
Barrel looks to be a 14 twist by measuring with cleaning rod.
I have 1000 68gr Bergers and 20lbs of LT32
Berger says 13 twist.
Plan to shoot it at local varmint matches (200 yards)
It also came with a 6 dasher barrel 8 twist

Will I have trouble getting the 68gr Bergers to shoot in the 14 twist?

I ran about 15 through it loaded with 27gr of LT32. 3250 and ok accuracy.

I tried measuring to the lands with a split neck case but had trouble with the 68’s.

Nice score!!!
The problem is, every barrel has its own personality
Some barrels that are even rated for their twist do not stabilize a certain bullet rated for the twist they have
IE: Some twist rates can be off slightly from their advertised rating
It may say 1:8 but actually be a 1:8.2 for example
-------------------
The only way to tell if your barrel will shoot the Berger 68's is to
Shoot and test.
-------------------
I have on several rifles had sucess shooting bullets that my twist is 1 rate slower
IE: recommended twist of 1:8 and I used 1:9 successfully and accurately
So the Bergers might work fine

Your setup should be fine for the 68's. Do your normal load development and see what you get. I would work up to another grain or so of powder and see how it goes. Best of luck with your new gun. Definitely give that Dasher barrel a try at some point.....
