Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 280 Rem twist

Pretty sure I'm good to go, but wanted to check with some guys who shoot them.

I've got a stainless 700 DBM that's getting a new barrel. It's going to be a vanilla 280 Rem, shooting 160 SGK and 162 ELDX(if I can find them).

I got a great deal on a #3 SS Shilen blank, with a 1-9 twist. I know that 8 would probably be preferred, but I want to know if any of you shoot this combo with a 1-9, and how it does.

As far as elevation, I'm at sea level in Virginia.

Thanks!
