You guys talked me into it. Ordered the 45 barrel for the savage. Told the wife the economy needs my help! :lol: Looks like maybe the first or second week of Oct...for delivery.

Each barrel is going to behave differently when it comes to handling heat, annoying but true apparently. DD also had a 14 twist Shilen that shot great with saboted 40 cal 200gr bullets.

DW,
I have seen where there has been some fine shooting done with the 22" twist..or as you say..even faster (14"). My point is that it not because of the
twist but maybe in spite of it. My thinking is the accuracy would be just as good with a 26-28" twist without some of the possible problems. Get my point?

THAT would be a GOOD thing! :lol: Thanks for your input.
Glad you took the time to talk to Dave, extremely nice and knowledgeable, hope everything works out!squirrelhawker said:squirrelhawker said:DW said:Dave is a great guy, the call may save you some money.

DW, (et al)
Talked to DD today. It would be hard to find a nicer guy. He assured me that the twist shouldnt be an issue as far as blowing sabots. He noticed no difference in that happening more to the 14" twist barrel compared to the 22". Thats all I needed to hear. Please dont say "I told you so".... :lol:

I seem to remember(correct me if I am wrong, I am an old guy) the guys on the green board using the .458 Parker Ballistic Extreme's sabotless w/friction fit(Doc White and others).
No temperature wait times and this barrel shoots them very well.
