In previous posts I mentioned that I have four Remington 40 X rifles and that I was that having the barrels changed Due to the twist. The current twist is 14 which limits you to light weight bullets. The calibers are 222 Remington 223 Remington 243 Winchester and 7mm Remington Magnum.
The first two I asked the gunsmith to make the twist 7.
The second two since I was changing the barrels, I decided to have the caliber changed. The 222 Remington I am stuck deciding between 6.5X47 Lapua and 6.5 PCR. The 7 mm Remington I plan to have it converted to 300 PCR for these two I am thinking that a 9 twist would be adequate.
So: I have two questions the first is does anyone have an opinion t=at to my choice of twist’s. The second question relates primary to the 222 Remington conversion to a 6.5 mm; In my situation which caliber would you chose?
