wkt60, are you certain they told you the .25-06 (#8.) will have a 1:12 twist rate? My 112
is 1:10, and any .25-06 I can find, either Savage or Stevens, on their web page has a
twist rate of 1:10. It would be rather nutz of them to make a twist rate that wouldn't
stabilize anything more than 85-90gr. Wouldn't make sense........but then, they did change
it for the worse on the 7mm-08.
