[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1691225, member: 105"] J E CUSTOM, I won't quote your latest post here due to it's length but must say it's the best common sense discussion of bullet weight vs twist rate vs speed I've ever seen. I'd like permission to quote you in other threads with credit of course. If you haven't already you should write a book(s). Your explanations are so practical and spot on. Please excuse my ignorance if you already are a writer other than here. BTW.... I have a Model 700LTR with what is probably a 10 twist barrel and it shoots 168gr Sierra Match Kings so well I've shot very little else in it. I also have a Model 700LTR in 223 with a 9 twist barrel and after trying to find the perfect bullet for it I settled on the excellent Sierra 69gr Match King. Another match made in heaven. I don't often go to the ultra high BC bullets because I just don't have many places I can shoot beyond 500 around here but a 6.5 Creed and a 6.5 PRC just showed up in my safe and I have high hopes for both after the first couple of range trips.
