Hint................... Have you ever seen 10 twist be a hindrance to accuracy with the 150-155s? Or, same question with the 8 twist and 120-140s in 7-08?

I have never seen a quick twisted rifle shoot poorly with lighter bullets myself. I can’t see any negative to running fast twist with any well built bullet. Next 300 will be an 8 twist just to get in on the heavier longer bullets that keep popping up. I’d fast twist slows bullets and raises pressures in any meaningful way I cannot see it with my Magnetospeed.

Beware that the EH2 has a lot of heel drop, very similar to McMillans HTG. They do not fit me at all. Fit is subjective, just making sure you're aware.

- #3B Bartlein contour fluted that finishes at 21”
- 10 or 11.25 twist .308 Win (still struggling on this...)
- Barrel threaded with protector.
- Templar V1 Hunter action.
- Manners EH2 stock
- Hawkins BDL bottom metal
- Trigger Tech Primary or Special
Graphite black Cerakote, nitrited action interior, and GAP camo paint on the stock (they have a guy who does their stock patterns to make them look like the McMillan versions (which I love).
Kind of like this? Bartlein #3, 20” TBAC CB Templar V1 sheep hunter 15 MOA non-typical rail EH-2 APA RTG DBM

So the EH2 looks similar to the McMillan Hunter format, which has a similar drop at heel. That is my favorite stock, so I'm guessing I'll be okay with the EH2. Curious why it doesn't fit you though...is it only in a particular shooting position?
