    J words only for me in .243. I use cast in .358 and above for rifles.

    I am shooting a 15in TC Encore in 6br. I am not positive on the twist rate though.

    I've tried some in my fast twist (1-8). Not enough to draw any conclusions but I have to run them slow. I'll probably try some again this summer but for now I feed it Bergers

    Why? That should be an excellent twist for cast bullets.
