[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1017670, member: 78762"] Here we go again. What twist do you recommend for a 215gr ? If you shoot a 150-168gr 30cal bullet at 30-06 velocities your going to be on the edge of good transonic transition and will have a hard time getting good results at 1000yards believe me I have been there.. If you look at what most guys are doing at 1000 with 308-30-06 they are running at least a 175 smk it goes transonic pretty well but most are staying away from anything lighter. As for the heavier high BC bullets dropping more, they will show more drop out to about 500-600 yards but they start dropping at a slower rate than there lighter counterparts. And quickly catch up and actually end up with higher velocity at extended range.. [/QUOTE]
