L Cazador Report post Posted yesterday at 04:08 PM Do an 8 twist. If you decide to shoot 130-140 grain you will have enough twist. Don't worry about overspinning the lighter bullets. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. He is looking at a 20-22" barrel and doesn't reload. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L Cazador Report post Posted 6 hours ago If he doesn't reload reload all the more reason to get an 8 twist. There may be nothing but 140's on the shelf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
