[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 985448, member: 50867"] I believe you've been reading about the "over stabilization" theory. I suspect the theory has its merits but, as in all similar matters, there are a lot of variables. "Longer heavier bullets" is a relative term. It doesn't answer the question "how much longer", "how much heavier", "at what caliber to twist ratio", "at what muzzle velocity", "with or without the risk of jacket failure at those higher rpms" (which can be a problem with some of the higher twist rate rifles) IMO, it's better to have too much twist than too little for LR shooting. Keep in clean and properly maintained and go shoot. Come back with the results and let's see what we can learn. gun) [/QUOTE]
