He is the link to my post on the gun with some more videos of it. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2058265&page=1 </div></div>I have been thinking about building a 7wsm and I noticed the 1-8.7 twist and was wondering why that rate? I was also looking at reloading with the berger 180s and they recommend at least a 1-9 twist to stabilize the bullet.

Great Video! I have been thinking about getting a camcorder specifically for my long range shooting.....I dont have a bunch of money to blow right now so my video quality wont be the best but it will be good enough to tell whats going on...do you have more vids?

Daw,

Yes I don't think chronographs are that accurate. Yes i do use them in developing loads. Mostly for ES SD. I think that if you have the right BC, and good environmentals in the program the only veritable is the MV. Seams to work with all the different guns and loads I have ever done. When I ordered the gun from GAP. I told them I wanted to shot the Berger 180 vld. SO they cut the chamber for it, and that was the twist sent.

We went out last Friday and shot at the 1012 yard spot. Hoping to put a new video together here shortly.

J. Villers, Yes I have a few more video's. My YouTube Channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/Stainlesstumblingmed#p/a/u/1/GcNn_BbtelY
