[QUOTE="BoomFlop, post: 1691558, member: 55851"] muleystalker I’d have to disagree with you. Higher speed cartridges don’t require the twist as the velocity will cause more rotation of the bullet with the same twist. After all, that is what the twist is doing. For example, shot a .308 bullet in a 1-10 twist at 2000 fps and another at 3100 fps and see which one stabilizes better. I’m not into mono bullets, but I’m unaware of any “high BC mono’s”. Mono’s love speed as they are typically harder than a lead bullet. Without the lead, mono’s will be longer to get the same weight, thus requiring twist or velocity. That is just my opinion. Have a great day, Steve [/QUOTE]
