long bullets what twist for 117 gr or 120 gror higher

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

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).

In addition to the bullets mentioned I have had great success with the 110 grain Accubond

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.

People/hunters with a standard or normal / hunting rifle seem to be getting to.worried about rifle twist and heavier grain bullets . I bet your rifle will be just fine with what twist it has G00d luck and have some fun,Pete53

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.

thanks

I like the 115 grain ballistic tips for 257 Weatherby and 25-06

Accurate and lethal. I've used them on mule deer, pronghorn antelope and coyote with great results.

Deer, pigs and Aoudads

Little bastard I got rid of season before last with a 26-06

Nice! I've got to hunt aoudad someday.

They have really big Dads in west Texas. Ours aren’t that big, mostly, because we shoot everone we get a chance to.

Best I’ve killed.
