Something for longrange target and varmint and also odd foxing any sugestions greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 1 in 9 will be your best bet. Stabilises everything short of ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcampbellsmith Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Both my 260 Rems are 1:8.5. 123gr Amax is a favourite bullet. I've also used 140 gr Amax and 142 gr SMKS. Regards JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 1:8 5 groove (5R) Bartlein on my '47' works OK with 108's-thru' 139's to date. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBoy69 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 A 1:8" twist, 6-groove, 650 mm long, Lothar Walther match barrel. Only tried it with 123 gr Scenar and Sierra Match Kings, shoots very well with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borisserge Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 My 1-8 6 groove rifling runs 139gr scenars just nicely out to 1k and beye. It's defo the pilot to blame for any misses...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3T3R Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Personally I think 1 in 8 would be your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
