[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1208659, member: 7999"] Mud, That would depend on a bunch of stuff. Elevation mostly. Not sure how long that 168g Hammer is.:rolleyes: The 158g is 1.349" long and perfect for the 11" twist. You can still shoot very accurately with a marginally stable bullet and the target bullet only has to kill targets so I am not too worried about terminal performance. Doing a little calculating in my head and a 168 ish bullet would be pretty close to 1.5" long. I run those numbers in the twist calculator and you really need a 10" twist to run one in the 168g range. Our ogive is tangent and shoots extremely well and at this point in time we do not intend to change it. Our bullets load develop in very few rounds and are seating depth insensitive. Maybe someday we will make some finicky bullets for you guys that like to shoot hundreds of rounds in order to get a load right. :cool: Actually that is a better business model isn't it? Harder to load develop translates into more bullets sold. Hmmm. Steve [/QUOTE]
