The 215 Hybrids will stabilize in a 10" twist and significantly out perform the 210 ABLR
The 210 ABLR will stabilize in an 11" twist.
That's interesting Mark, I hadn't heard that the 210's needed an 11" twist. Where did you hear that from just out of curiousity? Thanks!
I could be wrong but I don't think Mark is saying 210s "needed" 1:11 twist to stabilize, but rather 1:11 twist will stabilize the 210.
Nosler recommends the 1:10 (300 Winchester Magnum).
You are right Ed, they need a maximum twist of 11" or tighter. They do recommend a 10" twist. And I would recommend a 10" twist or tighter in any 30 cal rifle meant for LR shooting.

The 215 Hybrid isn't available in a hunting-jacket thickness. It isn't bonded, and it isn't tipped.
It probably will outperform the 210 ABLR ballistically, but there are other reasons a person may prefer the ABLR.

Wow you guys have posted great information. I see that I should probably go to plan B and get the savage 111 long range hunter in .300WM (so I can load to full length the big bullets ) and I also was thinking about the nosler LRAB in the 210. It`s those small details that you guys have pointed out that make the difference . I hate it when you get the gun and find those details out later. I have done that too many times.
I just double checked before posting, the long range hunter in .300 wm has a twist rate of 10"how will that work as Kcebcj said 11 is whats recommended as I would like to shoot the 210 LRAC
