[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2643700, member: 7999"] 7" twist is certainly enough for the 124g HH. Being knocked off axis during flight making the bullet hit with a yaw would be the most likely culprit. There is one other possibility. If the bullet got dropped at some point and distorted the meplat, closing the hollow point. Just got grins you might manually check the twist on that barrel and confirm it is the advertised rate. It would not be the first one that wasn't. We just built a 25 Nosler that was supposed to be a 7" twist. Turned out to be 7 3/8" and wouldn't stabilize the bullet we were working with. [/QUOTE]
