[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 2459683, member: 108926"] you really don't know until you shot it, In theory it will over stabilize at shorter ranges say 300 yards and under, 20 odd some years ago when VLD bullets hit the scene I had a customer order a 6MM-284 with a 1-7 twist to shoot prairie dogs, when the gun wouldn't shoot up to expectations I had him return it so I could trouble shoot it, I had the same gun but with a 1-9 twist, I liked going with the red mist affect, I had a good supply of 55 gr Nosler bt and hornady 58 gr v-max backed by a good dose of VN n560 both bullets produced 5 shot groups in the 3 to 4 tenths range with no tweaks, I fired 4 5 shots groups that morning then faxed him copies of the targets, he hadn't planned on shooting bullets that light, so he kept that barrel and then ordered another gun again with a 1-7 twist, [/QUOTE]
