X-Caliber 30 cal. 17tw.

[L.Sherm]

I have been having some people ask me about a 30 cal 1-17tw recently just curious if we started offering this twist how much interest.

I am not a 30 caliber person but I would think a 17tw would stabilize

only very light bullets for a specific purpose.

What purpose, I don't know. Kenny

A 1 in 17" twist is generally the preferred twist for the 30BR.

Deelux Target bullet wgts usually under 120gr. E.G. 118 Bibbs. Point blank BR or short range score shoot. HTH

That would be a good question for Benchrest Central or other BR forums as they are the ones using that caliber/twist combos. Since you asked, I can't use one.

Not to derail, but I am curious about the 7mm 8" 5R. How well proven is the 5R vs. the standard six groove?

I've seen lots of 5R barrels on the f-class line. I had a 5R bartlein 6mm that shot like a house of fire. But that being said I prefer a 4 grove barrel. In general they seem to shoot better for me.

I think the 5R is personal preference, I am having a gentleman testing a 6mm 3G at 1,000yds that's showing very good results.

17 cal barrels would get some attention

I am waiting on a borescope for 17 cal. our vendor is telling us 3 weeks I'm not taking orders until I can look down them. It's getting a lot close though I know it's been along wait for these but we won't put them out until I'm comfortable there right.
