[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1266141, member: 9551"] I built an 8 twist McGowen 28 inch barreled (nitrocarburized) M700 as soon as I got my hands on a thousand (100 boxes) of the 55 gr Bergers. It wears a 10-50X60 Sightron so all of the errors are mine. I shoot it at 300 and 550 yds so far. I coat the bullets with HBN which all but eliminates copper fouling. I have investigated Reloader 17 the most because I have been pleased with the velocities it generates. The 8 twist is a little under what Berger recommends. Velocity helps. 55 gr Berger BT R-17 30.3 gr 3444 2.198 OAL CCI 450 55 gr Berger BT R-17 31.0 gr 3578 24.4 SD 2.198 OAL 55 gr Berger BT R-17 31.4 gr 3632 6.8 2.198 OAL [/QUOTE]
