[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 3085958, member: 7999"] As a general rule faster twist is better. Higher stability will help with terminal performance keeping the bullet point on after impact for more consistent deformation and straight line penetration. Some thin jacketed lead core bullets might struggle with the fast twist. Quality hunting bullets should be fine. I personally look at 7" twist for 25 cal. I wouldn't go slower than 7.5" twist. That said you can get by with the old standard 10" twist, it just handicaps you a bit. [/QUOTE]
