You too, Rayne

 

[HotPocket]

I never have any problems with mine, and have run at least 2500-3000 rounds through it in the last year.

Let Uncle Shadow hold it, he'll fix that for ya.

The reason I asked about heavier bullets, is if you decide you want to stretch it out to 600 yds or so You'll be better off with 74 grain bullets or maybe even larger. And if that IS the case, you'll want a barrel with a 1:7 twist instead of a 1:9 twist. That's really about the only decision you'd have to really make.

Everything else is easy to swap and doesn't quite matter as much. Just buy quality parts are you'll be fine. PSA makes good stuff.

Can you shoot the lighter bullets in a 1:7 twist too or do you have to stay with the heavier ones?

Depends on the distance. Out to a few hundred yards you'll pry not notice a difference. 400+ and you might notice things, and you might not. Lots of factors involved. I shoot anywhere from 55gr - 69 gr bullets.

My PSA has a 1:7 twist and will shoot 55gr stuff all day,

I wouldn't go any lighter, bullets will overstabilize. It also depends on the velocity.
