"Last year at our local egg shoots, a shooter took 15 out of 15 "Grade A Jumbo eggs" at 500yds... and he walked home with the little statue.
He was shooting a 14" twist 6mmBR in a Savage action with 70gr Nosler BT's - is that being a "looser"?"
That means nothing. Local match, might only have been 15-20 competitors and he may have been the only master.
Give equally skilled shooters the different barrels and the fast twist will always win. If absolutely perfect conditions they are about equally matched at best. Since "perfect conditions" are as rare as hens teeth, I will put my money on the fast twist barrel.

Jack.. come down to earth and get real.
First off - the match draws from three or four states, and draws some very expensive rifles in the hands of some experienced shooters, so you have no reference whatsoever.
Second, even if there were two shooters, 15 eggs in a row at 500yds says the 6mmBR delivers the accuracy needed for varmint shooting at longer ranges.
Third, NOTHING, no caliber, no twist, and no bullet, guarantees success. No combination is guaranteed to win.
And forth, this is about VARMINT RIFLES!!
You put your pet cat out at at 700yds, and I'll kill it with my 14" twist 6mmBR and 65gr V-Max's...
