you guys are forgetting about the 280 gr cast bullets, they are recommended for a 1/15 and should work in your 1/16 twist. they work/group extremely well out of my 25", 1/14 twist, 35 whelen ackley. they can be cast semi soft for lower velocities or a bit harder for higher velocities for the bigger stuff. deer/bear out to 200 yards are no problem with it. I have shot targets to 250 with it, but just to much drop at that distance. I would consider, if I ever have the chance, taking it up north for bigger game. just my 2 cents worth jim
