[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 2316784, member: 52585"] I'd go with an 8.5 twist personally. It won't hurt with 150-60s and will shine if you decide to run 180s. If it's not too late I'd think about the 28 nosler. It's much easier to find quality brass for in normal times. I say normal times cause everything is a crap shoot today. My dad has an stw and I had one for a short time. First off the case length makes them hard to load vlds and they can be finicky to tune. While I don't have a 28 nos, I do have a 30 nosler and can say it's very easy to tune with excellent brass life. The shorter case allows you to tune coal without worries of restriction in a 3.85-4 inch box. Velocity performance is likely identical or so close you won't know the difference. But, the nosler is a modern and superior case design; shorter, fatter, way less taper, sharper shoulder and no belt. If building a rifle I think it's a better option and worth exploring. Not trying to bash the stw but I feel the nosler is a far better choice that seems to fly under the radar. Likely due to its proprietary nature and marketing or lack there of. [/QUOTE]
