Thanks so much

Great info. What is the barrel twist rate you are using? I've seen from 1:10 to 1:14.

 

[Jefferry404]

not super big on fast twist and will be shooting 400gn or less. The recent 416s are 1:14. Rigby is 1:16.54" . Asquare says 1:10.
I use 1:12 (which gives me 2 complete revolutions in my 24" barrel.

 

[Jefferry404]

will also have Matrix machine up my drop flat bottom floorplate to get 4 down.

Good information thanks was thinking 1:12 is the sweet spot for my favorite cartridge.
