   How does that 8.5 twist like the 140-142's?

Measure your desired bullets and run it through the Greenhill formula.  I stayed with 1:8 on my 26" .264" Pac-Nor because I wanted the option of going up to the 156-160 gr bullets.  I'm a believer that too much twist is better than too little.......

 Just to keep everyone posted on this, I had to move it to the back burner with my other recent accquistions.......so looks like a few months away for now.

Sage,  keep us updated on your progress.  You and HC sound like guys I need on my 'yote derby team this year.  I just bought a BAT action from Russ Haydon and am building a 6-284 with a 12 twist.  Gonna wear a mcmillan stock, jewell trigger, bat 20 MOA rings, Hart remington varmint contour barrel (26") and a leupold custom shop 8.5-25 with M1 turrets.   I am going to run 87 V-max as hard as I can!   JJ

Have you ever tried one of Leupold custom turrets matched to your drop chart?

I had a set that mark kenton built, I also made my own (not nearly as trick, but worked perfect)

I was thinking of making my own for my nightforce, not sure if Nightforce offers that service?   I might have to give them a call.
