[QUOTE="britz, post: 259176, member: 7865"] I'm 90% sure that you would need a 12 twist to handle a 60 gr vmax. I'm 100% sure that a 14 twist will not stablize the 60 grain boat tail. When I have a question about the twist of a bullet I usually start by looking at Berger's website and compareing similar bullets to them since Berger lists the required twist for all their bullets. Remember that the LONGER the bullet is overall, the slower the twist it will require. A Vmax is a spitzer and a Balistic tip is a boat tail = longer. Simple rule of thumb is a 50/52 gr boat tail and a 55 gr spitzer is the most BC you can usually get out of a 14" twist and up that by 5 grains or so when you go to a savage and 12" twist. [/QUOTE]
