[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1395967, member: 7999"] I too classify as an old fart. o_O From my perspective as a mono bullet maker the 7" twist will get you into the 140g class of vld style mono which would be physically about the same size as the 150g class lead core. I will throw in that terminal stability and ballistic stability are 2 different things. The added altitude doesn't add rotational vel thus the speed that a bullet slows down its rotational vel on impact remains the same. With less spin the bullet will spend less time nose orriented forward after impact, effecting terminal performance. So if you choose to use the new heavies in lead core I would choose full stability at sea level if hunting is the name of the game. Shooting strictly targets or competition go with whatever works. It should be noted that elr competion is moving to ever increased twist rates that would be considered over stabilized by the old standards. Steve [/QUOTE]
