    Correct, and konevs point about light ones with thin jackets in very fast twists is a good one. At 3200 fps a bullet fired from a 1:7 twist is doing 329,1000 rpm and that will rip a 40 grain varmit grenades nightie clean off

    Thanks for all the feedback quite a swing to Barnaul and looking at the prices I can see why. I will give then a try.

    Think the twist will be suited to sub 55grn.

    Interesting looking at prices GC is off the chart, Gunworks was quite good and the Barnaul would question the value of reloading at their prices.
