I have a Model 70 classic stainless in 325 WSM sitting in a Bridges McMillan I picked up and am getting ready to call PacNor for a barrel.

Rifle weight is 6lb 11oz stock with Dead Nutz mounts BTW.

Going to set this one up to shoot heavies, specifically the 180ELDM. Have 200 on hand, along with 180 Bergers and 175 Partitions, along with a pile of brass.

I have other 7mms from 7X57 up to and including 7mm Rem Mag in the safe which shoot 140s - 160s well, so not looking to replicate.

This may just be a rifle I shoot paper with, or it may go afield, not sure yet.

Hornady suggests a 7.5 twist.

Any reason not to go with an 8 twist for the bullets listed?
