Certainly more flexible with heavier bullets
That's what my brother ran I'm pretty sure, and he not only had a 900yd club record with that rifle (pretty sure it still stands) but took down all sorts of game with it. Rabbits, foxes, wild dogs, goats and the odd pig.
Damn rifle was a monster.
From memory he pushed the thing hard with a Krieger barrel 1:9 twist...
I'll give him a call if you want to know the details. This was more than 15 years ago so I may be remembering details poorly.

Glad I'm not the only one. Some of their data is all over the shop, especially for different projectile weights and types.
