This projectile development should go allot faster than the heavier .277. Rifle used will be a Savage 110 with a rebarrel to a 20" 1:7 Ace chamberd in 22 Creedmoor. Work done by UP River Arms. Mark V 5-25×56.

Do you think an 1-8 twist will stabilize them? I would really like to try these!!!!

I am sending some out to be tested in a 1:8 so we will see. I'm guessing not but Hopefully I'm wrong.

70 and I DO hope they'll work in a 8 twist as well. Proofs Prefit drop ins are all made in 8 twist only.
