need advice

[Ted Witkowski]

I have a savage rifle with an 8 twist barrell.
I also have a few thousand match 80 grain bullets ie fowler,berger,moore.
My question is will an 8 twist barrell shoot this weight and be accurate.
Thank You

A small excerpt:

Best Bullets

"For short range: 80gr Berger or Fowler FB, 74gr Berger FB, or any of the good 68gr custom bullets. We've had many reports (confirmed by our own testing), that the Berger 80-grainers shoot superbly in both slow- and fast-twist barrels, from 12-twist to 8-twist. If you want to see how tight that 1:8" barrel of yours can shoot, load up some Berger 80s 0.015" into the lands with a stout load of N-135."
