[QUOTE="Brent, post: 71478, member: 99"] 3six, FYI my Dad used a 3 groove 10 twist Pac-Nor for his 338/300 WSM throated for the 300gr SMK and it's about the best bullet shot out of it. That's at about 2500 fps. I haven't even looked at the stability issue as I'm sure you have but, I will say that the 300 is still stable 100-300 yards in his, and he's shot them down to 2400 fps too. A 9.5 twist would be safe, but after seeing this for myself I wouldn't worry about a 10 twist at all... and I never even thought about this until seeing your post here but figured I'd pass it on FWIW.
