[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 76672, member: 2011"] ss7mm, did the same thing only with some 169 gr prototypes in .277 that Richard sent me. Discussions with Richard and Kirby indicated that they wouldn't stabilize in a 10" twist @ 270 Win velocities. My question is "What is unstable?" I got nice round holes and very consistent groups, though a little large. What really impressed me was the velocities I got. This is a rifle that I am 'real" familiar with and had to work up some loads from scratch. Used 4831sc and 7828 and got 2900 FPS out of a Lilja 27" bbl. Accuracy was inches of Muley not inchs of Chuck. But again "what does stable mean?" I really guess I don't know? Would have been a stroke of luck if I'd have got the barrel w/the 9" twist but that was before Richards bullets existec. Who wooda thunk it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
