In my ongoing experiments with the 18 twist barrels I decided to shoot the heavy 40 cal 275 OT and 275 blacktip,in a Krieger,,this is four shots one out of the group was foul shot for barrel,, group of three then , 56 grains of IMR 4198,, the sabot might take 57 but looked stressed,,, I'm convinced the light blue working up a load is always going to shine about 5% below failure at least in all of my shooting one thing for you guys that are getting the 18 twists barrels on some of the omegas from Mark Woodman you got a lot of bullet selection and I'm convinced a lot of bullet selection that a 20 or 22 twist is not going to have, don't mean to pick on the twenties and 22s but the 18 ,is the absolute best and most versatile no one will ever talk me out of that or shoot me out of that,, shooting has brought me to that place ,,lots of bullets.. I can shoot anything from a 180 to a 275 40 cal accurately and I can shoot anything from a 250 to a 400 grain jacketed bullet riding a bore accurately and I mean very accurately there is only the 18 my 20 twist barrels are chasing it
