[QUOTE="trebark, post: 404958, member: 19172"] You are confused..."if faster twist rate mean you can fire heavy and light bullet" Generally speaking, the heavier the bullet in a given caliber, the faster the rate of twist required to stabilize the bullet. For instance, look at the Berger website [url=http://www.bergerbullets.com/Products/Hunting%20Bullets.html]Berger Hunting Bullets[/url] If you just look at the 6mm bullets you will see they manufacture 95, 105 and 115 grain bullets. 1:9 recommended for 95, 1:8 for 105 and 1:7 for 115. Also generally speaking, when choosing your twist rate, you want to choose a rate that is appropriate for the heaviest bullet you plan to shoot. [/QUOTE]
