Any 300wm owners using a Rock 5r in 1-11.25 twist?

Like title says,looking for thoughts from 300wm shooters and how heavy of bullets youve seen good results. I have a Rock blank but do not want to build another 308 rifle.
Will be using 190smks and maybe 210vlds.

I bet that thing would be a laser with 175's through 190's. Don't know about the 210's.

I run a 28", it loves the Berger 190VLD's - about 3050fps (heard the 210's work good also)
(short chamber , i can run them to the lands and from the magazine)

Thanks for the responses,i think ill be ok with Rock barrel in this twist and might even have it finished at 22" plus brake.

I was considering building a 30-06 using an 11.25 twist. I had the same doubts as you.
