[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 560244, member: 27328"] As far as bullet stability goes, you can usually go a bit slower in twist rate than recommended if you hunt at high altitude like I do. A mile high is quite a bit different from sea level, and at 12,000 feet the air is half as dense as at sea level. At 1000 meters, a 1:9 twist rate will work as well as 1:8 twist rate at sea level. By the same token, hot weather will allow a slower twist rate than cold weather. Test your heavy bullets at the coldest temp and lowest altitude you ever intend to be hunting in. [/QUOTE]
