[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 749924, member: 13632"] What twist rates are you guys running in the 6.8, or do you know what the twist rate is on the guy who consistently had the 140 tumble. I know I've seen several 270's twisted at 1-12 which is slow but not horrible. My 270 WSM was 1-11 and my buddies 270 Win is 1-10. We've punched game out in the 600 yard range with them and they have been flawless and we shoot everything behind the shoulder with minimal bone contact, very distinct differences but the bullet is the same so logically that would remove the bullet as the culprit. I've also shot a lot of milk jugs, magazines and paper reams with the 140 270 because it was one of the first Bergers I used, never had one come out looking like the ones in the 6.8 forum. The one pic looks like the bullet started to open before it turned sideways. Not trying to argue at all, just very interesting since I've shoot a lot of the same bullet with exact opposite results, which seems to point to something other than the bullet which is the only common part the two.
