Would running a 1:8 or a 1:7 improve accuracy or get those bullets out a little farther? You bring up some interesting points. I recently bought a cheek riser for the rifle and now shoot off of a backpack. I find it keeps the rifle more stable, also with a bag under the stock. Thanks for sharing this info before I go head first into the kiddy pool!
A 1:8 or 1:7 twist will allow the barrel to stabilize heavier bullets. Also, you could get a higher quality barrel as well.
