What twist for a 6.5 Swede? - 10/17/14
Getting close to wrapping up my 8x57 project so I'm planning the next one...6.5 Swede on a 1917 DWM Gew.98 action...action is already out getting drilled, tapped and the bolt forged. Was going to go with an ER Shaw barrel as I have been very impressed with my Mk.VII, but I've decided to go with a local barrel maker instead. So if you were going to have Brux do a #1 contour barrel for a Swede, What length would you go with(I'm thinking 23 inches) and what twist? Would there be any downside to getting an 8 in 1 twist barrel?
