[QUOTE="stomp442, post: 861332, member: 70571"] Keep in mind also that the stabilization factor increases with range as the velocity of the bullet decreases faster than the rate of spin. So if you have marginal twist and (SG) at the muzzle you will actually have better (SG) at 400 yards. This is why its always important to test loads further down range. A load that produces a 1" group at 100 yards is very capable of producing that same 1" group at 300 yards. [/QUOTE]
