7mm-08 Barrel Twist Rate

[Xbow hunter]

What would the best twist rate be for a 7mm-08 with a 22 inch barrel shooting Barnes 120 grain TTSX bullet?

Those are doable at 9.5 but, I'd go at least 9 in case you want to run something longer in the future.

I just did a build with a 8.5" twist Bartlein CF - barrel is finished @ 22.5". Have only shot 120 grain Ballistic tips but so far its been crazy accurate. Will be doing another with an 8.5".

Info on your build? You always put together great rifles...

I would like info on your build as well as I am trying to figure out what I want to put together. Any suggestions would be great. The Barnes TTSX bullets are what I am wanting to shoot out of it and I need a stock to match up with a 50mm scope.

As posted above 9 will cover it well and let you go heavier if wanted. Good luck with your build!
