I messed around and got rid of a beautiful rifle. Now Remington still making this lazy twist so it must have been my gun. My question is what bullet weight do you guys shoot with this twist?

For what game? For Whitetail I shoot 150 grain Interlocks. If I were going after elk, I might pick 180 grain partitions or something in between.


I prefer classic.
