[QUOTE="Methow Packer, post: 1169551, member: 67515"] Does the bearing surface of a bullet dictate the rifle twist rate? Example a Berger 185VLD might have a .585 bearing surface and can handle say a 12" twist. A Berger 215 VLD with a .785 bearing surface needs a faster twist etc. Is there more to it than that? Ogive shape and boat tail size ? I have a Brux 12" twist barrel that may shoot 215 Bergers from a 300WM. The Hornady ELD-X 200 grain is maybe a little shorter than the Berger 215VLD. Could the Hornady ELD-X be a better fit for a 12" barrel? ' Many thanks Ted [/QUOTE]
