Those weight bullets shoot fine in my factory 700’s.
I prefer classic.

Yep, the standard factory/SAAMI 1-10" twist works fine with lead-core bullets in that weight-range, along with the 115 Barnes TSX.

What he said!
They shoot fine in my factory Ruger #1AB and Browning BAR II. And also the Berger 115 VLD Hunting, out of the #1 (haven't tried it in the BAR).

I shot the 117 SBT in my factory 700. When I replaced the barrel I went with a 1-10” Douglas air gauge which was the same as factory barrels and bothe shot very well.

IF you're looking for the higher BC hunting/TGT bullets Berger recommends a 1:7.5 twist for their .257 133grn Elite Hunter and their 135 grn LR Hybrid with an MV of 2650. An mv of 2950 will still require a twist of 1:7.75 IAW their calculator. https://bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/

Yup, my standard 1:10 twist Remington 700 shoots 115 gr Berger VLD, 115 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips, and 120 gr Remington hunting bullets just fine. Very accurate. I've made 400 - 425 yard shots on mule deer and coyotes with that.
A faster twist barrel, which I'm contemplating, will stabilize 130+ grain bullets.
Regards, Guy
