[QUOTE="bfishj, post: 552531, member: 20102"] I spoke with both Barnes and a real knowledgeable guy at Nosler. Barnes said a 1:9 will stabilize the 62 grain tsx...however you would need a 1:8 to stabilize the 70 grain tsx. Due to the length needed to achieve the weight he said the 1:9 should shoot the 53 and 55 grains well. The guy at Nosler said hands down he would pick the 1:9. Years ago when bullets had jacket issues the likelihood of bullets "comping" apart was very real. With today's modern bullet he said you could run the range from 50-70 grains comfortably. The 1:14 twist was to conform with the SAAMI requirements. My whole goal is a "knock" em on their butt fast gun that will put down a deer or pig inside 200 yards and a coyote out until you can't see him anymore. I really do believe it comes down to the discipline of the shooter and knowing the limitations of the catridge. That being said I am leaning towards the 1:9 as the 1:8 would force me to stay to the the higher end of the available bullet specturm. [/QUOTE]
