Has anyone taken the Savage 7mm-08 out to the range yet with the new rifle twist? Any insight on why they changed it? Interested to hear about how it throws the 140 grain or even 120 grain bullets. Thank you.

I wouldn't be too concerned with ultra accuracy from a bench. Probably any rifle is more accurate than I am.
