[QUOTE="rooster721, post: 722811, member: 40654"] The way I understand, and so far HAVE seen myself as well, a higher velocity will definitely help in stabilizing a heavier than recommended bullet (like in this 264 140gr case) 264wm is a pretty quick load in regards to average calibers.. it's extra speed helps make the 140gr bullets "work" through a 1:9 vs the recommended 1:8 twists. BC and twist rate [I](so I was told & understood anyways)[/I] are based on a 3000fps velocity... no more. Velocities significantly increasing from 3000 will gradually increase BC and aid in stabilizing heavier bullets. [B]**Guys loading faster than that are most likely the guys that are having success with them, Guys loaded at 3000 or any-much below (possibly with rifles having shorter-barrels) are most likely the guys having trouble with them[/B] [/QUOTE]
