[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 968068, member: 1007"] Excessive spinning can hurt BC as well as marginally spun. By excessive I don't mean 2.0-2.5 either. Like phorwath mentioned, there's give and take here. I am of the opinion that 1.5 is the best balance overall between the best BC and minimizing the effects of bullet imperfections. but I also try and ensure that in very cold weather at sea level I have adequate stability (1.1 or better) and I try not to exceed 2.0 at high altitude in warm air. I aim for 1.5 at 2500-3000' elevation in 40-50 degree air. You have to remember too that unless they take off on the ragged edge of the minimum, bullets tend to increase in stability as they go. The 168 ABLRs in a 9x barrel at the altitudes and temps I normally hunt will keep things at or above 1.5 stability factor. [/QUOTE]
