[QUOTE="TnTom, post: 443291, member: 21944"] I think that at 500+ yds a 69gr hpbt is about as light a bullet as I have had consistency with wind and all. 600 yds the 77gr and heavier. A 1:12 in my experience really performs well in the lighter weight bullet . If you really want to get the edge under control think about a 1:7 if you need to shoot the heavier bullet if you want to get into the 105's a 1:6.5 Its a lot easier going to a lighter bullet with a fast twist barrel than a heavier bullet with a slow twist and you may powder a lighter bullet if you really crank it but I never saw but a few do it.
