[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1059678, member: 14204"] The Berger Team provided an excellent guide/recommendation; IIWY, I'd give it a try as your "ACTUAL" output might yield better than you might think. If you go to [URL="http://www.bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/"]Twist Rate Stability Calculator | Berger Bullets[/URL] , select the 215, 1:11" twist, use 2800 FPS (???) for muzzle velocity with 0' altitude, your SG is 1.19 ... change the altitude to 4800' (range altitude???) and your SG increases to 1.42. Granted it is still marginal (based on the software) but if you hunt at 7000'+ your SG is now 1.54 (in the comfortable SG); increase the velocity, altitude, and rate of twist and your SG increases ... I think you got the gist ... Anyways, there are members here that are pushing the envelope and one of the best source is another Montanan ... Good luck! Ed [/QUOTE]
