We have been using 12 or 12.7 to 12.6 progressive twist
Maybe this....
mr.big - It appears that you've been caught up with that "node" thing. Just load up something that will hold a group and go win the match. If a barrel lasts one match, and you win that match...what more could you ask for? If the bullet blows a little more...hold a little more. As long as the load doesn't produce flyers you can do that with confidence. Sure, the less you have to hold the better but barrels are different and you have to treat them differently.
Cook up a load that shoots well, load your cases and go win!!! If you can't win (ever), get a barrel (maybe rifle) that will win. It's that simple, often expensive, but simple nonetheless.

I shot the Norma 201 load today and it shot the most consistent over a whole day of anything I have shot so far,,the wind was mostly quartering in from the right to left but at times was coming straight in and switching in from 2 oclock to in from 10 oclock and back and forth and back and forth,,like ever 5 seconds ,,
at 100 yards I shot 65,65,63 and 65,,at 200 I shot 62,59,59 and 61 finishing with a 499 for the 2nd match in a row,,comparing with the scores from some really good score shooters I was quiet pleased but would have really liked to have gotten a 500 pin the last two months ,,

Does your practice range go out to 200?
200 is where the matches are won or lost

yes I can shoot 200 here and have a concrete bench and flags to shoot over,,and I agree I need to shoot a lot at 200 yards,,I only started this venture this year and I am happy with progress so far I just need to get better at catching the switches and letups,,holding 2 lines out and it switches you really hit way out there,,

Rick Fox ,Ron Jackson ,Larry Averitt,Jr Rigsby and Gary Lawrence and some others have really helped me a lot over the summer answering questions and helping me with gun handling and bench manners,,
I set goals when I started to try and be able to call myself a 500 class shooter this year and maybe start trying to win some matches next year,,
I am grateful for the help the guys at Gallatin and Buck Creek have given me and a lot of questions I have had answered on the WWW,,
