The barrel was made with a 1 in 8 twist as I wanted to make sure it handled heavy bullets well. It also shoots everything down to 150 grs quite well and even shoots 32acp ammo thru an ACE adapter well at 25 yards to the same point of aim as the 220's at 100yds.
There is a reason the 30-06 is still so popular world wide. It is so versatile and if the shooter makes the effort to place the bullet correctly it will suffice for anything. I haven't given up on my 458 though.
