10 twist handles 175’s?
DF
I had a 7mm Weatherby Mark V Ultra Lightweight for a while. The 1-10 twist shot fine with the 175 Hornady Spire Point here in Montana at 4000 feet above sea level at typical fall hunting temperature of 35 degrees. Also saw my companion's Mark V work fine on a bull elk at 8500 feet in Colorado, with the same bullet.
I had one years ago and it was 100% OK.
I gave it up because of the expense of Weatherby brass (made by Norma) and the fact I could ******not see anything it did any better then my 7MM Rem mag.*****
But when I had it, I fed it a pretty steady diet of 175 grain bullets and I have nothing bad to say about it, for accuracy or game killing ability.
If the 1-10" twist was bad in any way I am fairly sure I would have seen it at 880 yards. I didn't see ANYTHING to complain about.
DF there you have 2 good references on 10 twist and 175s.
I agree with Szihn - I don't think there's enuff diff in the 7 B from the 7 RM to justify the added expense.
