[QUOTE="paphil, post: 777061, member: 17745"] I agree that it would be hard to quantify a different velocity, the faster spin will stabilize longer and heavier bullets. They go slower because they are heavier. The only reason for the faster twist is to stabilize. I have a 22-243 with a 7 twist that shoots 80g bergers quite well but if I shoot 52 g bullets, some spin apart before getting to the target. [/QUOTE]
