I would like to see a 1-18 twist... the 1-20 should be fine if your sticking to shorter bullets. not sure of your intentions with the rifle.

you will have a difference in case capacity, so your compression will change. I would adjust your load so compression was the same in both and start there. the target will tell you if speeds are...

It would be just fine at long distance.......if your can get a bullet that is long for caliber, problem is, not having the twist to support the length. I would try the 240gr's and see what happens. ...
