hmmm

What about the 24" with the optional 1/14 twist?
the 1/14twist would be only be good for small grain bullets typically 35-55gr max

You know, this crap happens with in-breeding. You can only hope the unfortunate, screwed up love child would take themselves out of the gene pool when they discover electrical outlets and butter knives or start huffing paint when they're 7 or 8 but every once in a while a truly magnificent specimen makes it to adulthood to display for the world just how freaking stupid they really are.

Since I have over 4000 Wolf 55gr and have the raw materials for 2500 handloaded 55gr do you think a 1/14 is a better choice for me?

It seems like the Wilson SS barrels are only 1/8 or 1/14.

My range has 50, 100, 200, and 300 yard berms for rifle.

No - I would go with the 1/8 it will shoot the 55gr and if you want to go bigger it will thow 77-80gr bullets.

I couldnt get wolf to group under 1.75" @ 100 yards

1/14 is way too slow. Go witht he tightest twist that you can and it should shoot everything you can find within an acceptable grouping.
