[QUOTE="COBigJohn, post: 2459669, member: 99586"] I understand why one would need a 1-8".... or even a 1-7" twist barrel to stabilize the flight of long bullets.... I get that. But here is my question..... what does a 1-8" twist barrel do to a short, light bullet? Say I have a .264 Win Mag with a 1-8" twist barrel. I love it and it will hit the lungs of a bull elk at 600 yards, with a 147gr death pill. But then I am also hunting coyotes a week later with a hand load of 95gr VMax.... How will that bullet fly out of a tight twist barrel? ........ [/QUOTE]
