Oh well...

A buddy had one of Jarretts had a 1-10 280 Ackley and said it shot 140’s and 160’s fine. He had a couple on his site with 1-10 barrels. With today’s Bullets I’d never do that myself to a 7mm.

Funny thing about twist, I have lotsa faster twisted stuff and can’t find a negative. Same buddy broke down and built a 1-9 300 mag with a Brux and it wouldn’t shoot anything real well, he has a 1-11 300 Wby and it’s a drill with everything he’s used in it.

His is the first gun I’ve seen with a faster than normal twist not shoot normally accurate Bullets for beans.
