A few years ago guys started getting 12 twists so they could shoot the true heavyweights, like the 280-320 grain bullets. That fast twist is not needed with the bullets most of us use.

Yup, my 358 Norma has a 12 twist, and it loves the 225TSX. But if I was to spec it again I would go with a slightly slower twist like a 14 as I would probably get better accuracy with cast bullets.

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
