Hello,
Goal: 600yard ftr
Bullet: 80gr bergers
Three barrels to choose from:
30" 8twist
28" 7twist
26" 7.7twist
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Ken
There's my vote.
I'll take the insurance of the faster twist when shooting 80's (while also giving you the ability to move up in weight later if you decide to try it), and give up the two inches of barrel.
The shorter mid-twist barrel loses on both accounts, so isn't a contender for me.
Very interesting points...thanks for the info guys!
Ken
I too thank you GS--- for your well presented, dispassionate information. I truly enjoy, actually relish, learning.
Not being the least bit knowledgeable in the realm of statistics and interpretation it is just a bit of a conundrum for me, knowing that "identical" bbls can differ so much in fps of how that can be reconciled in my pea brain.
I have a very anal friend who did tests on chambering to tighter and tighter run out tolerances to determine effects on accuracy.
An accomplished BR competitor, his findings were quite interesting.
I mulled the stat thing during breakfast and am guessing if the sampling was large enough, the results would be meaningful.
Again, thank you for the intelligent discourse.
