[QUOTE="AKGuide, post: 894515, member: 64701"] I can vouch for following the twist guidelines. Cutting edge now lists using a 9.5 twist to stabilize their 200 grain C22 bullet for .308. Before they changed the guideline they used a 300 Tomahawk at 3200 fps in a 10 twist to do testing and it worked for them. I still have a handful loaded for my 10 twist 300 RUM and at 3250 they destabilize at 600 yards. Then again I shoot in subzero temps at sea level. I may give the 180s a try if they shoot as good as the 200s. I found that in my rifle they liked a .010" jump which in my chamber had the seal tight band in the case neck. Find a powder charge with a low es and sd and play with seating depth is my recommendation. Reuben [/QUOTE]
