[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1308359, member: 74902"] For the stability, location plays a part as altitude affects stability. I think the 210 stuff is borderline stable at lower altitudes and good say at 3~4000 ft. You will never be able to take advantage of the Berger 215 Hybrid though which is the cats meow for long range hunters in the 300 WM. I understand that mag length gets to be an issue with the Tikkas also. I have seen two Sakos not shoot bullets over 180 gr. well at low altitude. But, I am not sure it was the twist... Here's the link to Berger's twist calculator. Works pretty well. [url=http://www.bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/]Twist Rate Stability Calculator | Berger Bullets[/url] [/QUOTE]
